# Understand section and category limits

Source: https://www.goodbarber.com/help/organize-your-content-r93/understand-section-and-category-limits-a202/

## 1. Number of sections

The number of **sections is limited to 120** in your back office.
This limitation is set to ensure the efficiency of the app for the final user:
- Too many sections increase the application's weight and slow down the app, which degrades the user experience.
- When the binary of your application (ipa or apk) weighs more than 100Mb, users can only download the application on wifi.

## 2. Number of category/filter within a section

It is possible to create up to **15 categories/filters** by section (when the type of section allows it).

## 3. General advice

To produce an app with the best user experience, you must conceptually optimize the app.

- Limit the number of "**About**" sections within a "**Menu section**". This will unnecessarily increase the weight of your application.

It is best to use [CMS](https://www.goodbarber.com/help/publish-and-manage-articles-r94/add-a-cms-articles-section-a115/) sections. These sections allow you to create an articles list page, which will list all the articles in the same section, instead of creating several "About" sections under a Menu section.

- Create **[categories/filters](https://www.goodbarber.com/help/menu-sections-categories-and-filters-r85/configure-categories-and-filters-in-your-sections-a36/)**within one section rather than creating a Menu section when possible.
