What is the maximum no. of pages possible?

  • Hi there I’m looking at updating an old site with around 500 pages to WordPress since I love it so much as a CMS with my smaller sites.

    1. Is it able to handle this sort of volume in terms of pages? (This includes a store, and we’ll also add a blog on top of this.)

    2. Or would I be better of using something else even though WordPress is my first love?

    Thanks for your help all. I think I’m going to cut and paste all 500 pages from the existing site into pages in a WordPress site using %postname% to see what happens.

    It’ll take a while but worth it to know if it works or not before working on a design. Will post the result here.

    You could do a WordPress export followed by import it’d be quicker than copying 500 Pages manually.

    The numbers came from the original poster in the topic that she linked to:

    Thanks. Though the topic initially compares the non-permalink version /?p=# to the permalink /%category%/%postname%/. The user neither indicates how he or she is calculating queries, and neither whether plugins are having any affect on the number of queries as well.

    Either way, if WordPress is really making over a thousand queries, then there’s something terribly wrong with its retrieval method.

    I went ahead and tested the number of queries on my own using the TwentyTen theme and WordPress 3.0 with multisite activated, here were the results:

    Default (/?p=#)

    Index: 25
Page: 28
Post: 30
Category: 25

    Date and Title (2010/07/29/sample-post/) or Numeric (archives/123)

    Index: 24
Page: 30
Post: 29
Category: 25

    /%postname%/

    Index: 24
Page: 31
Post: 30
Category: 25

    /%category%/%postname%/

    Index: 24
Page: 30
Post: 33
Category: 25

    Based on this, there’s not actually that great of a significant increase between the permalink structures. The category-postname structure only results in 4 more queries over all four page types than the default setup, while the postname structure only makes 2 additional queries and the Date & Title method levels off at the same number of queries.
