I’ve read a few threads both here and elsewhere about WordPress having performance issues once a certain amount of pages have been published. But, most of these threads are at least a couple years old, and it seems like an issue that WordPress would try to fix.
So – my question – does anyone know if this is still an issue? If, so are there any work arounds that would keep performance issues from occurring? I’m thinking of building a site using mostly static pages, and the site could grow into the 5,000 – 10,000 page range.
Thanks!
Many pages were a problem when your permalink structure was a plain
/%postname%/, because that is the same structure the post typepageis using. Very complex additional rewrite rules were stored in the database to avoid collisions.This is not a problem anymore. If your permalink structure is the same for posts and pages, posts are queried first (I hope I get this right :)).
