Publishing delays when publishing bulk pages at once (20+)

Just more of a question to other AEM users. 

Have you ever experienced delays when trying to publish multiple pages?

We’ve noticed in our environment when we select 20 or more pages to publish in one go that only one or 2 publish and we have republish the remaining pages again.

Any suggestions on where we could look to optimize the queue or any tips or tricks that you can suggest?

Hi ​@ChrisPhillipsUC,

 

In Adobe Experience Manager (AEM), yes—this is a common issue when publishing many pages at once.

Key Points:

  1. Replication queue overload – Publishing 20+ pages can slow or block the queue.

  2. Assets impact – Pages with images/assets take longer to replicate.

  3. Queue status – Check if the replication agent queue is stuck or slow.

  4. Background workflows – Running workflows can delay publishing.

  5. Best practice – Publish in smaller batches (5–10 pages).

Conclusion: Delays happen due to queue load and system limits; using smaller batches and checking the queue helps.

 

Thanks,
Vishal
