Updated: What does BIG mean in the Content Management System world? The largest website? The highest website traffic? The highest number of users, documents or languages on a single website? Find out how Kentico CMS does for size!
In this blog post, I would like to cover some interesting numbers about websites running on
Kentico CMS. Some of them show various capabilities of our solution, while others might be similar to what we provide in our
CMS performance report. Anyway, it’s always interesting to see all of the numbers in “real-life” and “real-use” stories.
107,000,000 page views in a single month
This number was reached back in September by the website of
Viajanet - the leading on-line travel agency in Brazil. And their website traffic doesn't consist only huge by “low value visitors” - once they redesigned the site with Kentico CMS, they reached more than 15 thousand sales per month. Such a huge amount of traffic and number of sales would definitely exercise an efficient
lead scoring system.

6,000,000+ unique visitors in a single month
Each month
NewsMax provides over 6 million Americans with the latest news, investigations and commentaries. Ayush Chaturvedi, Senior Developer at NewsMax, said about this:
“Getting into numbers, it is because of the flexibility of Kentico CMS and optimizations on SQL server that we handle 20 million page views a month for Newsmax and 1 million for Moneynews. Normally our system gets 50 to 60 requests per second. Under peak load this number doubles and the Database CPU stays at 20-30% CPU usage.”
Other websites in this category:
-
Conduit (IT, 3 million unique visitors/month)
-
Fantasias Miguel (Arts & Crafts site,1,8 million unique visitors/month)
-
Motors.co.uk (Automotive, 1 million unique visitors/month)
500,000+ pages on one website
Gozaic, an online community for people seeking heritage and culture-rich experiences, has more than half a million pages on a single website. This is actually five times more than Kentico was tested for (
100,000 pages/documents)!
Another website in this category is the
Pewag Group website, with more than 89,000 pages. The Pewag Group is one of the oldest chain manufacturers in the world, established back in 15th century in Austria, currently operating globally. The website has 13 different language versions and its database is 14GB+.
500,000 active users of a single website
The highest number of active users on one website, 5000,000, is far cry from what Kentico was tested for -
10,000,000 users! But it’s a great proof of the scalability and reliability of the system. Who needs so many users? Samsung Russia does for its
servies.samsung.ru website.
Other websites in this category:
469 active content editors of a single website
What is the difference between website "users" and "content editors"? A user is a member of any number of roles and can be assigned to any number of websites. In addition, a user can be granted with “content editor” permissions and then he’s allowed one step further – to access the CMSDesk interface.
The Arizona Center for Afterschool Excellence website has 469 content editors, which represents quite a high number if we consider that a midsize company website usually has around 3-5 content editors.
Other websites with a high number of content editors include:
700+ websites running on a single instance
Multisite support is a useful feature if you need to create multiple websites for a single company and share documents, users or even settings between websites. A perfect example of leveraging this feature is
salonsoftware.co.uk which holds 700+ hairdressing salons in the United Kingdom.
Another example is
Bayleys Estate Agent websites, where one single instance of Kentico CMS holds a network of 330 websites of local real estate agents. This gives each agent more autonomy in controlling their web presence and the ability to present a distinct and personal offering, while it’s ensured that the overall brand consistency is still maintained.
31 different languages used on one website
Australia is a country historically open to immigration. So when the Australian government needs to spread a message across the whole continent they need to have it ready in many different language versions. In the case of the
Digital Ready website, its 31 languages include eastern languages and right-to-left languages such as Persian (Farsi), Arabic, Chinese or Khmer.
Kentico not only helps to display and manage different languages with its
multilingual support, but it also helps to significantly simplify and speed up the daily translation tasks with tweaks such as language version comparisons, translation status overview and others.
