Each month NewsMax provides over 6 million Americans with the latest news, investigations and commentaries. Ayush Chaturvedi, Senior Developer at NewsMax, said the following 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.”

1,000,000 active users of a single website
The highest number of active users on one website, 1,000,000 is still a far cry from what Kentico was tested for - 10,000,000 users! But it’s great proof of the scalability and reliability of the system. Who needs so many users? Scholarship America does for their educational websites group.
Other websites in this category:
1,000+ 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 “content editor” permission and then he or she is allowed to go one step further – to access the Kentico admin interface.
1,000 content editors are contributing to the content of the Automation Alley, a website developed by High Monkey for a technology business association and business accelerator in Eastern Michigan (US).
Other websites with a high number of content editors include:

Another example is Salon Software, which holds 700+ hairdressing salons in the United Kingdom.
Lastly, the Bayleys Estate Agent 330 websites, in which one single instance of Kentico holds a network of 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 ensures that overall brand consistency is still maintained.
79 different languages used on one website
Tour operators, travel agencies and official country tourism sites are the usual hot candidates for sites with the highest number of languages being used. With Prague being the fifth best travel destination in the world (ranked by TripAdvisor.com), it comes as no surprise that the official travel site of the Czech Republic has 28 languages, including Japanese, Korean, and Hebrew.
However game industry seems to have even bigger spread over the globe - the website for Warhammer 40 has 79 language variants being number one in multilingual category.
Kapsch is an international road telematics and IT TELCO company with more than 5,000 employees worldwide. Our partner CSS successfully migrated the site from SharePoint to Kentico. This meant transferring 5,000 pages serving 38 subsidiaries in 27 countries using 18 different languages.
Kentico not only helps the display and management of different languages with its multilingual support, but it also significantly helps to simplify and speed up the daily translation tasks with tweaks such as language version comparisons, translation status overviews, and others.
