How many PHP requests can InfinityFree handle?

[Fyhrer]

I was thinking of making a website, except I started thinking of one thing: how many times can a webpage search be initiated on my website?
By webpage search I mean a simple PHP query that looks for relevant pages for certain keywords.
Also, is there a certain limit to how much my PHP search can search for?

how many times can a webpage search be initiated on my website?

The hits limit is 50,000 per day. However, the number of times your site can be loaded is less since multiple hits may be used on each page-load. Please see the article below for details:

What does the hits limit mean

One of the limits InfinityFree enforces is the “hits” limit. This article explains what a hit is, how you can control your hits usage and what happens if you exceed the limit. What is a hit? A hit is a simply request to a file on your website, which can be a HTML or PHP page, an image, a CSS file or something else. A hit is not the same as a page view, visit or visitor. Visitor can visit your website multiple times, a visit can include multiple page views, and a single page view can include mu…

What is an Entry Process and what does the limit mean

One of the limits InfinityFree enforces is the Entry Process Failures limit, also abbreviated to Entry Process limit or EP limit. This article explains what an entry process is, what the limit means and how you can control it. What is an entry process? Every time a request to a URL on your website is made, a new program is started to retrieve the content of that URL. This process then executes your code, sends the response to the visitor, and finally quits. Note that one entry process is creat…

The hits limit is 50,000 per month

I believe this is a typo error.
Should be 50000 hits per day

There are limits on CPU usage, memory uses, concurrent process, hits, storage usage, database usage and more that all affect how much your PHP code can run. Whether this PHP code provides the end user feature “search” or something else, we cannot reliably detect that and we don’t really care.

It all depends on how the search feature works and how it’s being used.

With all of these “business level” metrics, such as searches, posts, visitors, products, sales, etc. there is no way to know beforehand how much your website can accept. The only way to know for sure what the limit is is by hitting it.
