[OpenLayers-Users] Problem to load a WFS

[Julien-Samuel Lacroix]

I think it's possible that too much records make things fail. I strongly 
suggest you to use a WMS layer when zoomed-out and replace it by the WFS 
when zoomed-in. The other option would be to pre-cluster your data on 
the server side before sending the BIG WFS XML to the client.

Just out of curiosity, how big (???Mo) is your 8745 records XML?
