Maximum Website Size?

Thanks, pauland.

Thanks for the suggestions. I'd still love to hear from anyone who has knowledge of the point(s) at which scale becomes a real issue. At least some idea whether it begins at 50 pages or 150, or with 100 images or 500.

Perhaps someone can point me to a few Xara sites that are seriously large?

Cheers,

Allen

Checkout my site nriinformation.com made with xara web desinger premium and has almost 300 pages. Its made in four sections as a single website.

As has been said it really is a case of the total size of the images and not the amount of pages, when bringing in a photo don't bring in the original if it is large, also optimise the images that you do use and you should be ok. The first site I did was over 60mb (the .web file) but now that I have gotten to know the software they are typically just 3-5mb in size for a typical 5 page site.

50 pages and 500 images starts looking at memory shortages. That's about the limit on MX. Splitting into subsites makes editing easier - remember, its the pages ie the software, on your computer that are having the memory problem, not the servers.

I am also afraid that I need to divide my current page into separate sub-pages due to image-count.
While I know this is an option which is always there such of course makes global changes harder/more tedious,
especially as one might not even be able to keep several critically large files open at the same time.
It would really be great for Xara to finally become a 64Bit application, then such problems should belong to the past.
(side-note to Developers: "bloated"64 Bit+multicore Photoshop CS6 starts twice as fast on an old Dualcore Machine as Designer 8 Demo, just sayin...).

I wonder however if there were no smart interim solutions thinkable for as long as there is no 64 Bit support.
Some sort of dynamic content-unloading - so that could flag the currently important pages and gets dummy-graphics for the rest of the site.
Such was probably easier if Xara just referenced Graphics instead of embedding them but does that really mean that all images
have to be kept in memory at all time?

I have a little less than 50 pages on my site.

I have a little less than 50 pages on my site.

Thanks for the info but as the Thread is 10 years old, the concept is a little stale as Xara has moved to 64-bit implementations so prior limitations on computer memory have gone.

That said, xara still struggles as a DTP will a large number of pages, fewer pages with more images and a photo-bound presentation.
The range now might be (1,000pg, 0img) spanning through to (50pg, 1,000img).

If working on an image-bound design, I place all my images is a separate folder and link them in.
The file size saving is dramatic.
