Is there a way to increase the hard limit in Webflow?
- Webflow has unchangeable hard limits (e.g., 100 static pages, 4MB file size, 10,000 CMS items on Enterprise), which vary slightly based on your plan.
- To work within limits, use CMS templates instead of static pages, paginate content, split collection lists, or integrate external CMS solutions like Airtable via API or JavaScript.
Webflow has fixed platform limits (hard limits) on elements like CMS items, static pages, API calls, and hosted files—and these limits cannot be increased on demand.
1. Understand What the Hard Limits Are
Some of Webflow’s key hard limits include:
- CMS items: 10,000 items (Enterprise only); 2,000 or 10,000 depending on your plan
- Static pages: 100 pages per project
- Collection lists per page: 20 maximum
- Items per Collection list: 100 items shown per list
- API rate limits: 60 requests per minute per token (can’t be changed)
- File upload size: 4 MB max per file

2. Upgrading Your Plan
Some limits scale with your plan:
- Site plans: Higher plans like CMS and Business include more CMS items and form submissions
- Webflow Enterprise: Offers the only way to go beyond 2,000 CMS items, up to 10,000
Note: Even on Enterprise, limits like 100 static pages and 4MB file size still apply.
3. Workarounds for Hard Limits
You can't change the limits directly, but you can use design patterns to work within them:
- Instead of more static pages, use CMS collection pages to create templated content
- To show more than 100 items, link multiple Collection Lists filtered by offset
- To overcome 100 static page limit, build paginated content using CMS pages instead
- If you need more than 10,000 CMS items, consider integrating with an external headless CMS like Airtable or Sanity and load data via JavaScript and the Webflow CMS API
4. Use APIs and Integrations
For more scale and flexibility:
- Use Webflow CMS API to manage content externally
- Integrate with tools like Zapier, Make, or custom servers to create dynamic experiences beyond Webflow’s visual editor
Summary
You cannot increase Webflow's hard limits through settings or support requests. For higher limits (e.g., more CMS items), you need either a top-tier Business/Enterprise plan or use creative workarounds like CMS templates, external CMS integrations, or dynamic script-based content.
