Is there a workaround in Webflow to show more than 100 CMS items with the Mixitup3 multifilter extension? And why is the CMS limited to 100 items in the first place?
Workaround for showing more than 100 CMS items with the Mixitup3 multifilter extension in Webflow
Webflow has a built-in limit of 100 items when it comes to displaying CMS items on a page. However, there is a workaround you can utilize to show more than 100 CMS items with the Mixitup3 multifilter extension. Here's how you can achieve this:
Use Pagination: Instead of displaying all CMS items on a single page, you can divide them into multiple pages using pagination. This way, you can display more than 100 items by spreading them across multiple pages. However, keep in mind that this solution might not be suitable for all scenarios, especially if you need to display all CMS items on a single page.
Custom Code: Another workaround is to use custom code to bypass the 100-item limit. You can export your Webflow site's code and modify it to handle more than 100 items. However, be cautious when using custom code, as it may introduce complexity and require technical expertise.
Third-party Integration: If the above solutions don't meet your requirements, you can consider integrating external platforms or services to overcome the limitation. For example, you can use a third-party CMS that doesn't have such limitations and sync it with Webflow using APIs or Webhooks.
Remember to thoroughly test any workarounds you implement to ensure they function correctly and don't negatively impact the performance of your site.
Why is the CMS limited to 100 items?
The Webflow CMS is limited to 100 items per collection due to performance considerations. By limiting the number of items that can be displayed, Webflow aims to maintain optimal speed and performance for websites built on their platform.
Having a limit in place helps prevent potential performance issues such as slower load times, increased server load, and potential degradation of user experience. With fewer items to load, the CMS can be more efficient in handling the data and delivering it to the end-users.
Although the limit of 100 items might be a constraint for certain projects, it's a trade-off made to ensure that websites built on Webflow are fast and reliable for both site owners and visitors.
