    I’m just wondering, as now I’m customizing backgrounds with gradients, adding different bits and bobs, and the CSS stylesheet is starting to really pile up. How much does a typical custom website have? I just don’t want to bog the site down with tons of styling. Forgive this newb. Is there a theoretical limit? Or is it only by need/imagination? Thanks!

    Hi there,

    Thanks for writing in! No there is virtually no limit. Also, it will take tons of CSS to slow a site down unless of course in your CSS you are are calling to large resources like big images all over the place. If you are experiencing performance issues, please check this article.

    You can also run a website speed test to see which areas are taking the most time to load.

    Hope this helps – thanks!
