For pagination we already need to trigger a count query to find out the total number of pages available. Now if there are less elements available than the offset of the current page points to we don't need to trigger the actual content reading query at all. E.g. if there's only 20 elements in the database and we request page 3 by a page size of 10 we already know that there won't be any elements found.
Implemented that optimization for general CRUD pagination as well as pagination in query methods.
