instead of looking for alternatives, you should instead address why you need to use it a lot. 97% of the time, there will be a better solution for your use case than AdvanceToNextPage.

What are you trying to use it for, with a good amount of detail?

I’m making a way for players to search up other players that have joined the game before, but I cannot achieve it because AdvanceToNextPage errors within a span of a couple of seconds.

You should probably still make use of AdvanceToNextPage (assuming you get looots of players), and instead have a bunch of arrays stored in datastores, containing user Ids. whenever a player joins who doesn’t have data, add their ID to one of the arrays.
