This alert appears when the amount of design data in your project has exceeded a certain threshold and is approaching the limit.
There's no immediate impact on your work when the alert first appears, but if you keep building and managing your site as-is, you'll eventually hit the limit.
Note: Even if your page count is within your plan's limit, you'll see this alert if your project's overall design data exceeds what the system can handle.
What is design data?
Design data refers to the information needed to display your site's design. Its size varies based on the following factors, and is measured across your entire project.
Number of pages
Number of boxes
Style settings such as colors and sizes
Text content
Image file names
However, the file size of images placed in the editor and the size of embedded external services aren't counted as design data.
Approximate data capacity
Example: Studio.Design's landing page (https://studio.design/ja)
Built as a standard page.
Includes lots of animations and has a fairly complex structure.
At this scale, you can create up to about 300 pages—the maximum allowed by our plans—within the same project. Since the amount of design data varies depending on your design and text content, use this as a rough guideline.
If you need to create more than this, please reach out about our Enterprise plan.
What to do if you exceed the limit
Once you exceed the limit, some actions—like creating, deleting, or duplicating pages—will no longer be available.
Since this design data limit is relatively large, very few projects actually run into this alert. If you do see it, however, please consider the following ways to reduce your data usage.
Solution 1: Delete unused pages
Deleting pages reduces your design data accordingly. If you have pages you don't need, delete them using the trash icon in the page panel or the trash icon at the top right of the screen.
Solution 2: Use the Components feature
When you copy and paste boxes for design elements you use often in your project, each copy adds to your design data. By turning them into a shared "Component" instead, they only count as a single piece of design data—no matter how many places you use them.
For example, if you use the same header across 10 pages, that would normally take up 10 times the data. But by turning it into a component, it only takes up the data of one.
Solution 3: Use the CMS feature
One thing projects that trigger this alert often have in common is that they "duplicate a large number of long pages, only changing some text or images." For projects like this, we recommend using the CMS (dynamic pages) feature.
Just like with components, you can consolidate your design data into a single dynamic page in the editor, which can significantly reduce your data usage.
You can also reduce data by replacing "Lists" placed on your pages with CMS lists.
