# create fast site collection in sharepoint 2019 - Link: https://sharepointtechnicalsupport.com/2020/08/13/create-fast-site-collection-in-sharepoint-2019/ - Published: 2020-08-13T15:29:32+05:30 - Author: Deviprasad Panda create fast site collection is a new feature introduced in SharePoint 2019. Create a new site time can be reduced to half compared to New-SPSite PowerShell cmdlet by this feature. This fast site creation feature operates directly at the DB level, witpout passing to [Object Model](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/dev/sp-add-ins/get-a-quick-overview-of-the-sharepoint-object-model), and saving several round trips between database server and sharepoint server. So in this post we will discuss all about how to create site collection using fast site creation feature in sharepoint 2019. Advertisements Each site collection is associated with a blank template called a “site master”. Creating fast site, actually copies that site from DB and copies to destination site.
