wp_insert_post if page doesn’t exist under current page

I am trying to dynamically insert a page/multiple pages as a child under the current page in my template file, using wp_insert_post, however I need to first check if the page title already exists under the current page, and if it doesn’t exist then to run the code and create the page(s), but don’t want it to create a duplicate page under the current page if the title already exist under the current page only.

Faster way to wp_insert_post & add_post_meta in bulk

I have a csv file that I want to insert that consists of ~1,500 rows and 97 columns. It takes about 2-3 hours to do a full import and I’d like to improve this if there is a way. Currently for each row I’m doing a $post_id = wp_insert_post and then an add_post_meta for the 97 associated columns with each row. This is pretty inefficient…
