I am putting together a lot of documents. Couple questions my chat messages are super long over 100 pages per month and I have over ten months so am I to send all this. Also how many pictures should I send I have hundreds?

A sampling of chats spread out over the length of your relationship. The same with photos. Quantity doesn't equal quality.

What country is involved? That can have a bearing on advice.

My husband is from Ghana Africa. I was told to front load at the beginning.

Yes, from what members are saying you need to provide a lot of information about the entirety of your relationship. It was the same for me going through Vietnam.

No need to send the hundreds, but certainly many chats. As fars as photos go send pics of you together during the times you have spent together. Photos with family and friends, at tourist spots, etc. No need for every shot at the same place. Enough to document that you traveled and socialized together and if possible that family is aware of the relationship.

Look in the regional forum at what other members have submitted (and/or been RFE'd for) and build your submission. Getting the info in the package means that the CO can look it over prior to the interview and have a better understanding of the length and depth of your relationship.
