Published pages

Pages are the content in WordPress that stands on its own and doesn’t belong to a date or a category: the homepage, About, Contact, Services, a legal notice. Published pages are the ones that are live, so visitors and search engines can open them.

Why it matters

Section titled “Why it matters”

Each published page is an address on your site. A single page doesn’t get slower because the site has more of them: WordPress loads only what that page shows. The count matters elsewhere. Menus, sitemaps, search and every page that lists other pages have more to sort through, and so does the work of keeping the site up to date.

The count is also context for other values. When the database grows, the number of pages shows whether there’s more content behind it.

What influences it

Section titled “What influences it”

WordPress: Publishing and deleting pages, mostly. Imports and some page builders create many pages at once. Drafts, pages waiting for review, private and scheduled pages aren’t published yet, so they don’t count.

In Permo

Section titled “In Permo”

The Pages card is in System info, tab Content. It shows the number of published pages, with a line of the last 3 months below it, one count per day, and the change in that time, such as “+4 in 3 months”. If Permo has counted for less than 3 months, the change starts at the first count.

Permo counts once a day and when you select Count content again. Blog posts aren’t included; they have a card of their own. The value gives context; Permo doesn’t rate it.
