Restrict the no . of pages for page tree in the side bar

Question

Hi,

Under one space there are more than 100 parent pages. Each parent page has pages ranging from 10 to 12,000.  Each parent page will become expandable with one level of children pages. This creates a performance issue if I open one page, then all page tree renders again.

I need to limit the no. of pages per each parent page (page tree) instead of showing 12000 pages. I can only restrict no. of children level in the page tree macro.

Please help me to know if any solutions.

Thanks

Nitin

Nitin,

There was a change made in the last year to improve loading times in Confluence Cloud:

* CONFCLOUD-59611 Page Tree Does Not Load if The Space Contains a Huge Amount of Pages

You can test this out by copying your largest spaces over to an evaluation Cloud instance and see if this helps you. Of course, there may still be a limit of how many pages can load without performance issues, but we won't know until you're able to test it.

Let us know how it goes for you!

Shannon

Hi Shannon,

Oh ok.  We don't have time to wait for the updates :)  The issue is very critical for us.

Do you think moving to the Confluence Cloud would solve the issue?

Hello Nitin,

I'm sorry to hear the suggested solutions won't work for your site. Other than that, there's no other way to do it that I am aware of, at least not any supported methods.

Confluence 7.0 also does not have a solution to this issue. The bug report I sent you earlier (CONFSERVER-43752) is still open. Once we have a supported solution for this problem, the release version will be updated there. Make sure to watch the case so you don't miss those updates!

Regards,

Shannon
