How long before the pages get bogged down?
-
I have pages that list book review bloggers. And it looks really neat to have an image per blogger. The trouble (and a good one to have) is that I’m getting so many submissions that it’s bringing 80+ images to some pages (particularly the ‘Fiction Book Reviewers’ page) and counting.
My question is, how many more images can I list before the page starts becoming difficult to load with people around the world that don’t have as fast of an internet as I do?
Thanks in advance.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Yes, those sub-pages only have between 1-25 links/images. If you click on “Fiction Book Reviewers” itself, that’s the one I’m worried about.
And does the “next page” function work on pages and not posts? Would it solve the problem, do you think?

Okay. That page opened rather quickly as well. I believe it works on pages and on posts. The support page says, “Did you know you could split a post/page up into different web pages so that is has pagination?”
Would it solve the problem, do you think?
Splitting one page into multiple shorter pages will result in shorter loading time for each partial page compared to the composite containing all of the parts. Your feedback will tell us whether that solves the problem.

Neat. I will look into it. I was considering only having an imagine for every 3 blogger listings, but I would love to keep all the images if I can.
This is great. Do you have a recommendation of how many blogging listings (each with their own image) you’d recommend the cut off point to each page should be (concerning loading time)?
After that, the only bottleneck would be the amount of storage I have on my account, I think, right?

I’m not equipped to answer this question or the following one. What you are asking for is rather complicated. On the one hand dealing with perhaps with expected or average loading speed compared to page volume and content, and on the other, the range and average loading speeds of the ISP/device combination used by your site’s visitors and prospective visitors.
You may add a “modlook” tag to the sidebar of this topic to call for staff attention.

Hi reviewdirector ,
It’s awesome to hear you’re getting so many reviews! WordPress.com is equipped to handle massive amounts of traffic. As musicdoc1 has mentioned splitting the page into chunks is one way to handle longer posts. I have a few other suggestions as well.
First, optimize your images for web. Keeping each image as small as possible will make the total download size as small as possible while retaining the images. You can find more on how to optimize your image here:
