Is there a way to increase the hard limit in Webflow?
TL;DR
- Webflow project limits (e.g., 10,000 CMS items, 100 static pages) are fixed per plan tier and cannot be changed.
- To work around them, upgrade to Enterprise for higher limits or use external solutions like APIs, third-party tools, or multiple projects.
Webflow has hard limits for various project features, and these limits cannot be bypassed through standard settings. Here's what you need to know about those limits and what (if anything) can be done about them.
1. Understand Webflow’s Hard Limits
- CMS Items: Maximum of 10,000 CMS items for Enterprise plans; Starter/Business plans have lower limits.
- Static Pages: Up to 100 static pages per project.
- Collection Fields per CMS Collection: 30 fields max; 60 with Enterprise.
- Reference Fields: 5 reference fields per collection.
- Form Submissions: Capped monthly based on your plan tier.
- Ecommerce Products: 500 for Standard plan, 1,000 for Plus, 3,000 for Advanced.
These limits are enforced at the Webflow platform level and cannot be modified directly.
2. Upgrade to Higher Plans or Enterprise
- Webflow Enterprise plans offer increased limits in several areas, such as:
- CMS items (up to 10,000)
- Collection fields (up to 60)
- Greater bandwidth and team features
- Contact Webflow Sales if you require:
- More than 10,000 CMS items
- Custom SLAs or advanced limits
- Unique infrastructure needs
3. Use External Workarounds
- Embed dynamic content from external sources like Airtable, Firebase, or Contentful via custom code or third-party tools.
- Paginate or dynamically load content from APIs using tools like F'insweet's Attributes or Jetboost.
- Use multiple projects/subdomains if you need more static pages (e.g., splitting content into microsites).
4. Optimize Your Existing Project
- Consolidate CMS Collections where possible.
- Use multi-reference fields efficiently to reduce collection bloat.
- Remove unused static pages or CMS items.
Summary
Webflow hard limits are non-negotiable per project, but upgrading to Enterprise or using external tools can help work around them. If your needs exceed available plan limits, speak with Webflow’s sales team about custom solutions.
