Store list on admin store page takes a long time to load

Describe the bug
The store list on the store page in the admin panel takes an unusually long time to load. This affects user experience and slows down admin operations.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Log in to the admin panel

Navigate to the Store page

Wait for the list of stores to load

Notice the extended loading time (can take several seconds or more)

Expected behavior
The store list should load promptly within a reasonable time (1–2 seconds maximum).

Additional context
This issue may be due to unoptimized data fetching, lack of pagination, or large store data being returned all at once. It might be useful to review API response time or implement lazy loading or pagination.

Start by reproducing the delay on the admin Store page and inspecting the store-list request, including API response time and returned data size. Compare the loading behavior with the reported 1–2 second target; the work is done when the list loads promptly and the relevant loading behavior is verified on the stated browsers or devices.
