I’m curious to hear when you think its time to upgrade your CMS based on your growing needs (e.g having hundreds of blog posts, different authors, etc.) or if you would need to upgrade CMSs at all.

[image] thewebprojects: the client will need to manage the content in the database. I would prefer if the client could use Kirby’s panel as opposed to jumping to some other interface Well, the Panel obviously only works with files, not with a database. The only way you could maybe achieve thi…

Is 1000 that many? We run page with 500 pages where there is lot of relation between pages (looking for multiple related pages so kirby has to go trough lot of tags stuff like that). It was always very fast. I the only problem is usualy the search - where db can do lot of work for you and does thing…

Thanks Krisa (and Sonja) for your time. I really don’t want to use a db if Kirby can handle upwards of 1,000 “pages” without performance issues. I have personally never run any tests on massive amounts of pages. Answers in the forum here don’t seem definite regarding large amounts of pages and per…

I’d do a test, create 1000 pages as subpages of a single folder programmatically, including images, and see how it performs, both on the frontend with searching and filtering, as well as handling that many subpages in the Panel. With a fast server and SSD, up to 1000 pages should in fact be doable f…

I think it will be just fine. Like i said the problem really is the search. People are used to very good search engines and it can be quite advanced work thing to achieve that. Kirby search is “dumb”, it works for basic things but you will definitely need things like ranking and stemming and if you…

if the created posts contain a date (which i presume is true) you could create an automated archive function which creates the archive folders and moved content from anything but current year into its proper place. this could also be done with a hook and dir::move . in the frontend you just have to…

i do not understand why the default search is “dump”? it even has scoring based on matches. about creating a plugin… unless yours will be free the algolia plugin by kirbys @lukasbestle seems very promising and does excactly what you just describe, right?

Thanks Bnomei. Having pages that are organized by date moved automatically to an archive, based on year for example, seems like a practical solution to keep things tidy and preforming well. I could see this method used quite often. Hmmmm. With files moving I can imagine how that could break some q…

When moving pages to an archive, make sure that old URLs are rerouted after moving, otherwise you end up with lots of invalid URLs.

Not sure if this helps with feeling confident in kirby’s performance but it it’s worth a look. [image] Kirby performance with over 60K simple pages Articles I have always wandered in which areas Kirby would slowdown with thousands of pages so triggered by this thread I hav…
