A quick one on Notion: when do page loads and search start taking longer, and what keeps them quick? Going by G2 reviews, pages take a little longer to load in large, complex workspaces, and search across a long knowledge base is where people notice it most. The approach they describe is setting up a clear system from the start, with structured content held in databases rather than in very long pages.
The search side is also something people credit, with AI-powered search retrieving information in a few seconds and toggle headings keeping long pages tidy by hiding detail until it's needed. For a knowledge base, Notion suits teams that treat structure as part of the writing: content split into database entries with views loads and searches the way it's meant to, while a single page that has grown for two years carries everything at once.
Splitting long pages into databases seems to be the move people wish they'd made earlier.
Has that made a difference for you? And roughly when did you start noticing load times, a year in, or once a certain amount of content had built up?

It keeps individual pages manageable while making search more useful as the knowledge base grows.</p> ##### Comment Metadata - Posted at: about 8 hours ago - Author title: Writer ## Related discussions - [How well does Trello scale into a larger team?](https://www.g2.com/discussions/1-how-well-does-trello-scale-into-a-larger-team) - Posted at: over 13 years ago - Comments: 6 - [Can we please add a new section](https://www.g2.com/discussions/2-can-we-please-add-a-new-section) - Posted at: over 13 years ago - Comments: 0 - [Quantifiable benefits from implementing your CRM](https://www.g2.com/discussions/quantifiable-benefits-from-implementing-your-crm) - Posted at: over 13 years ago - Comments: 4
