How long _should_ it take to publish 44k static pages with my app and does that time change for subsequent publications? I am doing my first with the collection and making pages, its been going on for at least 20 minutes like this ![Screen Shot 2023-04-20 at 3.10.18 PM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/weweb/original/2X/d/db071a55a665b47b2bc221632fdf8dad86b9e7ff.png) [update] i recieved an error after about 20 minutes or so. trying from the dashboard now. ![Screen Shot 2023-04-20 at 3.38.35 PM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/weweb/original/2X/3/35e56632fa91061d548442db6d4212e2957d27bd.png) [update 2] ![Screen Shot 2023-04-20 at 4.13.03 PM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/weweb/original/2X/5/535d2b681cfce659d23abd9e4801bb8b53a183c0.png) this only began to occur after making the pages from a static collection [update 3] ![Screen Shot 2023-04-20 at 5.43.32 PM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/weweb/original/2X/f/f768b167e91dd305693a207a2ac5456103c5c30c.png) i broke publishing OR it’s still thinking. i’m not sure now but it’s been like this for hours ---

I think that generating 44k pages was too long for our server. I’ll ask the team and come back to you 😉 ---

@Quentin Thank you for getting back to me. I thought that i read somewhere that when an app is hosted by weweb it could handle up to 50k static pages from a collection, is that wrong? ---

Hey, our CTO told me it’s too many pages sadly 😕 You’ll need to self-host in order to build the app on your servers. ---

thank you! I am self hosting now, we just set this up this morning. how do i make it build _on_ my server and not on weweb servers? @Quentin ^^^ even set up with self hosting, when i click publish i still see “too many pages” error
