How often the 'Insert JIRA Issue/Filter' macro can be used on a single Confluence page?

[Michael Krüger]

We've Confluence pages including tables where the 'Insert JIRA Issue/Filter' macro is used several hundred times.

Now it happens that when opening the Confluence page the table is not shown on the page. Sometimes a reload helps, but often not.

Our assumption is that either there is a kind of limit for the macro or that Confluence is not able to solve all links when loading the page (maybe related to the current traffic between JIRA and Confluence?).

Has someone already had the same issue or has any ideas how to figure out if this is related to that macro?

Hi @Michael Krüger ,

1. When a jira macro is added, the page checks for the permissions for each ticket before it displays. So there is slowness is page loading.

2. There is already a know issue for Slow Page Load when confluence page contains a lot of links

Workaround: Make use of child pages and split the jira macro into different pages.
