Key points to remember

  • AEM Site creates many cq:Page nodes and flattens by rendering them individually during generation time. For this reason, it is advisable to avoid running large multiple concurrent AEM Site publishings as it can overburden the system.
  • AEM Site generation time depends on the template used. Execution time can increase if complex template is used.
  • Custom publishing execution time is for a sample custom output. Custom publishing time solely depends on customer’s own transformation logic.
