One More Question About Slow Publishing

[Guest]

I've followed the suggestions about improving publishing speed and have had
some good results but would like to continue to cut my publishing time. I
have a 500+ mb site with over 7,000 folders. Each folder has four pages,
three of which use includes. Viewing the site in a browser is quick and
smooth. Opening it and publishing takes more time than I'd like. Does the
slowness have to do with the number of includes or could poor coding be the
culprit? Thanks.

Do you have FrontPage set to publish "Changed pages only" ???

Break your site down into subwebs.

Have you considered going with a database driven solution where you could possible reduce your page
count from 28,000 to maybe a single folder of 4 pages?

FP runs a Recalc Hyperlinks before publishing
- opening and resaving all pages using includes
Agree w/ others to look at subwebs or better still a DB solution or server side includes

I recalculated before the last publish. I went ahead and upgraded to FP 2003
which helped some. I'm going to look into the subwebs and db. Thanks.
