Can I add more than 20 collections per page in Webflow? Should I upgrade my plan to increase this limit? Is there a solution to this limitation I'm facing with collection lists? Thank you for your help.

You're hitting Webflow’s hard limit of 20 Collection Lists per page, which cannot be increased by upgrading your plan. However, there are workarounds to bypass this limitation depending on your needs.

1. Understand the 20 Collection List Limit

• Webflow allows a maximum of 20 individual Collection Lists per page, regardless of CMS plan.
• Even if you're on a Webflow CMS or Business plan, this limit does not increase.
• This is a technical performance safeguard, not a pricing-tier limit.

2. Combine Multiple Collections into a Single List

• If you're using multiple Collection Lists to show the same content type (e.g., blog posts by category), consider using a single Collection List with filtering (e.g., set conditions to show only items in a specific category).
• Use pagination rather than multiple lists if you’re trying to display many items from the same collection.

3. Use Nested Collection Lists (Multi-Reference Fields)

• You can use nested Collection Lists within another Collection List item to link related content via Reference or Multi-Reference fields.
• This counts as one Collection List on the page, but lets you show related data.

4. Leverage Static Elements with Dynamic Embeds

• In places where you don’t need full CMS list functionality, use Text or Embed blocks and insert dynamic fields from the page's current Collection (like a blog post template).
• This allows you to add more dynamic content per page without increasing your Collection List count.

5. Integrate with JavaScript or Third-Party Tools

• For advanced setups, use custom JavaScript to fetch additional collection data via Webflow CMS API and inject it on page load.
• Third-party tools like Jetboost, Finsweet’s Attributes, or Wized can help build dynamic front-end functionality without adding more Collection Lists.

6. Consider Structuring Content Across Multiple Pages

• If you absolutely need to show more than 20 types of content, consider breaking your layout into multiple pages.
• For example, split different content sections into separate linked pages instead of cramming them into one.

Summary

Webflow enforces a strict 20 Collection Lists per page limit, and upgrading your plan won’t change this. To bypass the issue, you can combine lists, use multi-reference fields, or fetch content with custom code or third-party tools. Reworking your design approach is usually the most scalable fix.
