 Our friends at APIN.com have asked an interesting question...
What does it take in raw content load to bring Joomla! 1.5 to its knees?
If you want to see how Joomla! responds loaded with content, there is now a test site up for you to check out...
Can You Put 100,000 Articles Into Joomla?
We looked for this answer, but none was to be found. Can Joomla do
really LARGE websites? That's our question and here's our answer...
A large website, Joomla or any other, is more than 50,000
articles. For most, this would never even be a concern. But for
those of you with large aspirations, the answer is not a simple yes.
Somewhere around 60,000 articles, Joomla starts to have issues, at least in a shared hosting environment. Granted, if you have 60K+ articles, you shouldn't be in a shared environment.
What we did was load up a fresh copy of Joomla 1.5.15, then started
stuffing it with 10,000 articles at a time. We then went about our
business, as though we were maintaining the site. Adding, editing,
clicking front and back to see what would happen. Up through 50,000,
there really was very little hesitation. We had cache turned off and
loaded up some front end modules so home page reloads were tugging on
the DB. Even up through 60,000 all was well.
