 * Hi,
 * I’m currently planning a new website with at least 2000 pages and i’m trying 
   to build this in WordPress.
    I need a custom post type and some custom fields
   and taxonomies on all of these posts.
 * Are there any limitations in amount of posts in WordPress?
    And are there some
   aspects i need to keep in mind to keep WordPress as fast as possible?
 * Thank you in advance for your assistance.

 * No not exactly but I will warn it will take alot of resourses from your host 
   and could cause your site to crash with alot of pages on it. Depending on how
   your host package is.
    Remember to have your blog page set to another page if
   it is not about blogging you can do this via settings and reading you may need
   to make sure to activate or install and activate jetpack.

 * I do have experience with building my custom themes from scratch, so that won’t
   be a problem.
    On all of my websites I try to use as little plugins as I possible
   can (Advanced Custom Fields, Yoast SEO, WPCF7) I try to build most of the functionalities
   directly inside the theme, what would be my advantage of using Jetpack?
 * Maybe the Photon option within Jetpack will be useful but on the other hand, 
   the website i’m planning won’t be using a lot of images.
    Again, thank you for
   your assistance.

 * 2,000 posts is nothing. 🙂
 * I’ve got one site that uses 5 different custom post types and has somewhere around
   60,000 posts, and that grows from anywhere between 30 and 100 a day. This is 
   on a private VPS, but it is shared with some other sites. As far as handling 
   it goes, it’s fine.
 * WordPress is the same as pretty much every other system out there. It will handle
   almost anything that you want it to, but if you go too far you’ll need more server
   resources.
 * As far s Jetpack, I don’t use it, but I know that it’s good in some situations.
   I don’t think that it will make any significant difference in server load though.

 * Ha, that’s what I wanted to know! 🙂
    I’m also hosting on a VPS so I can tweak
   a little bit when necessary.
 * Thanks a lot jdc20181 and catacaustic.
