# Pages Quota

> Understand how SiteGPT measures and manages your training content quota

Your SiteGPT chatbot is trained on content measured in **pages**. This unified system makes it easy to understand your usage limits regardless of whether you're adding web pages, uploading files, or pasting text.

## What is a page?

A **page** equals **2,500 cleaned characters** of text content. This is roughly equivalent to:

* A typical web page with moderate content
* 1-2 pages of a PDF document
* About 400-500 words of text

<Note>
  "Cleaned characters" means the actual text content after removing HTML tags, scripts, styling, and other non-content elements.
</Note>

## Why pages?

The pages-based quota system provides several benefits:

  <Card title="Simplicity" icon="check">
    One number to track instead of separate limits for links and files
  </Card>

  <Card title="Flexibility" icon="shuffle">
    Use your quota however you want — all web pages, all files, or any mix
  </Card>

  <Card title="Transparency" icon="eye">
    Clear understanding of exactly how much content you can add
  </Card>

  <Card title="Fairness" icon="scale-balanced">
    You pay for content, not arbitrary file counts
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

## Plan limits

Each plan includes a generous pages quota:

| Plan           | Pages Quota   | Approximate Content |
| -------------- | ------------- | ------------------- |
| **Starter**    | 1,000 pages   | \~400,000 words     |
| **Growth**     | 10,000 pages  | \~4 million words   |
| **Scale**      | 50,000 pages  | \~20 million words  |
| **Enterprise** | 500,000 pages | \~200 million words |

<Tip>
  Not sure which plan you need? Most small to medium websites fit comfortably within the Starter plan. If you have extensive documentation or knowledge bases, consider Growth or Scale.
</Tip>

## How pages are calculated

When you add content to your chatbot, SiteGPT automatically calculates how many pages it will consume:

### Web pages

Each URL you add is processed to extract the text content. The cleaned text is measured in characters, then divided by 2,500 to determine the page count.

**Example:** A blog post with 5,000 characters of clean text = 2 pages

### Files

Uploaded files (PDFs, DOCXs, etc.) are converted to text and measured the same way.

**Example:** A 10-page PDF with \~25,000 characters = 10 pages

### Raw text

When you paste text directly, the character count determines the pages.

**Example:** 7,500 characters of pasted content = 3 pages

## Viewing your usage

You can check your pages usage in several places:

<Steps>
  <Step title="Dashboard overview">
    Your chatbot dashboard shows current pages used vs. your limit
  </Step>

  <Step title="Content pages">
    The Links and Files pages show page counts for each item
  </Step>

  <Step title="Usage page">
    Navigate to Account → Usage for a detailed breakdown over time
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Managing your quota

### Before adding content

When you add new links or files, SiteGPT estimates the page count before processing. If the content would exceed your quota, you'll see a warning.

### Removing content

Deleting links or files immediately frees up those pages for new content.

### Upgrading your plan

If you need more pages, you can upgrade your plan at any time from your [billing page](/navigating-your-account/billing).

## Tips for optimizing page usage

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Be selective with URLs" icon="bullseye">
    Instead of adding your entire sitemap, focus on the most relevant pages — product docs, FAQs, and key landing pages.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Use exclude patterns" icon="filter">
    When adding sitemaps, use exclude patterns to skip pages that aren't relevant for support (e.g., `/blog/*` if blog content isn't needed).
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Consolidate documents" icon="layer-group">
    If you have many small files, consider combining them into fewer, larger documents.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Review periodically" icon="calendar-check">
    Use the content management pages to identify and remove outdated or low-value content.

## FAQs

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="What counts as a 'cleaned character'?">
    Cleaned characters are the actual readable text content after removing HTML tags, JavaScript, CSS, navigation menus, footers, and other non-content elements. This ensures you're only using quota for meaningful training content.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Do images count toward my pages quota?">
    No. Only text content counts toward your pages quota. Images, videos, and other media are not included in the calculation.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="What happens if I exceed my quota?">
    You won't be able to add new content until you either remove existing content or upgrade your plan. Your chatbot will continue to work normally with its current training data.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Can I see how many pages each item uses?">
    Yes! The Links and Files pages show the page count for each item. Hover over the page count for a tooltip explaining the calculation.
