I am very new to all of this and am just jumping in at the deep end with trial and error, mostly errors:confused: I am trying to build my own website and I wonder if there is a limit to the amount of html codes are placed on a page? On my first (home) page I have several html codes but just thinking if I add to many will this cause an effect on my site or load time?
sorry for being the dumb ass here because clearly you guys know all your stuff.
thankyou

No technical limit.

If you have too much 'stuff' going on in the page, after a long time, it might end up causing memory issues.

If you have a lot of javascript things going on, that might be a concern. With just html, though, it would take a LOT.

Most webpages are a few kilobytes (thousands of characters)... so, even if your page was 100k (meaning 100,000 characters... the size of a small book), it would still load very quickly, faster than most images.

Now, at that point, you might want to look into pagination (making page 1, page 2, etc.) just 'cause it's a lot for a reader to take in if it really is that long.

So, in that sense, if your viewer can handle it, the computer likely can.
