Is there a character count limit on webpages
Hi
I have 50,000 characters of text to put on one web page, but am finding that I cannot input more than about 15,000 without the web page messing up.
Is there a limit and is there a way to over-ride this?
thanks
Mark

80,000 characters is a NOVEL! No one would wait for 50,000 to load. Why not break it up into pages? Put the best on the 1st page, because most people will give it a cursory look and won't surf past that.

Characters or words?
It is broken into two pages already, and doesn't seem to take too long to load, although I agree that the page is rather long. I would limit it to 10 or 12 to a page.
Interesting name 'Tszujimoanials', but I think I'd have omitted the first 'a' - looks a bit too much like 'moan'!!!

Well, words actually, LOL. But people surfing have the attention span of a mite. If the page doesn't load quickly and they can't scan it quickly, they will surf away. How many Amazon reviews do you read? I read maybe 2 or 3 depending on the purchase. How many testimonials will people actually read? Maybe 2 or 3, depending on the amount of money involved.

Re: Is there a character count limit on webpages
Thanks all for opinions and comments.
The page loads in about 3 seconds so no problems there. I found a section of body copy that was causing the page to fail to display correctly. No idea why, but anyway the page works fine now.
I would not expect anyone ever to read below the cut line, but somehow publishing loads of testimonials just gives customers the feeling that they are in good company. I agree - I never read past the first 2 or 3 reviews on amazon, but when there are lots of them I find it helps to cement the purchase decision no end.
cheers

It's looks super, pittman. Your testimonials are not tomes so one can quickly scan them.
