Who has the largest MODx site?

I’m curious as to who here has the largest MODx site, in terms of total number of documents being used. Looks can be deceiving as when documents are deleted, their IDs are retired and no longer re-used. You cannot simply look at your most recently created document’s ID and go with that. I’m not sure how to easily go about calculating the number of active documents without digging into the SQL database.

This is by no means the best way to rank size, it was the first thing that came to mind.

On a corporate website that I help operate and maintain daily, the current estimation is at about 800 active documents.

about 70, no record breaker huh

Thomas, I ran the sql report after your post we are at 950 current active documents not 800.

I know one site with 1588, otherwise most of the sites I deal with are 300 or less. There is also a proof of concept site with 50,000 pages for a new caching system...

In Evo, go to tools > backup and look at the count in modx_site_content (or whatever your prefix is) table for a raw count of published and unpublished docs.

For an enterprise network hardware manufacturer, 11000+ between support intranet and public facing pages.

Evolution or Revolution?

0.9.6.x actually.

I’ve built a couple of large(ish) scale MODx sites - both with 0.9.6x, it scales very well.

Unfortunately this site is now no longer maintained because the magazine has closed its’ doors, but there’s 80,000+ articles in it, dating back to 1946 when the mag began - none of the old, old, articles required CMS editing features so they are being loaded into MODx templates via custom tables and a snippet. All the newer articles were inserted as MODx documents, of which there is about 3000 by the end.

This next one is still very active and is growing, there’s roughly 3000 resources all using the MODx database tables.

But do as we say, not as we do ... definitely not recommended and needing a port to Revo big time. All pending.

BTW: are there any known limitations in performance issues?
did anyone run a load test or stress test how many simultanously user a MODx (r)evo can stand?

yes I know, there are many many circumstances that may influence the serverload or database activities.
but, let’s say a "normal page", with two wayfinder snippets, some Dittos or Listindexes, two or three jQuery plugins and a couple of images, completed with css and a snippet generated random image transition header to perform on the fly PHP-based file usage.
maybe delivered on a dedicated high end quad core server, with enough RAM and raid-space... or in other words: no worries about the hardware and the internet connectivity ;-)

or, just to face the big ones:
does anyone got an idea for a distributed loadbalanced scenario, with a couple of "MODx slaves"-servers, sharing the same database- and fileserver(s) for a high performance site?

I’m not kidding -- just afraid of Typo3...
