42 — PAGES MIGRATED
EVERY PAGE KEPT ITS URL, INCLUDING A FILTERED PROJECT ARCHIVE AND A NEWS SECTION, WITH CLIENT-SIDE NAVIGATION AND CMS FILTERS INTACT.
WEB DESIGN — 2026
AN AGENCY WEBSITE REBUILT AS A SELF-HOSTED COPY, ALL 42 PAGES BYTE FOR BYTE, WITH EVERY ASSET SERVED FROM THEIR OWN HOSTING AND ZERO REQUESTS TO FRAMER.
FRAMER'S CONTENT RUNTIME ASKS ITS CDN FOR PARTIAL SLICES OF A FILE, SOMETHING ORDINARY STATIC HOSTING CANNOT SERVE. I INTERCEPTED THAT LOGIC IN 78 PLACES SO THE BROWSER DOWNLOADS THE WHOLE FILE AND SLICES IT CLIENT-SIDE, WITH BYTE-IDENTICAL RESULTS.
SEVERAL JAVASCRIPT MODULES ARE ONLY LOADED AT RUNTIME, SO NO AMOUNT OF READING THE SOURCE FINDS THEM. I LOADED EVERY PAGE IN A REAL BROWSER AND CAPTURED THE NETWORK TRAFFIC TO CATCH WHAT STATIC ANALYSIS MISSED.
THE SITE WAS VERIFIED PAGE BY PAGE WITH ZERO FAILED REQUESTS ACROSS THE HOME, THE PROJECT ARCHIVE, INDIVIDUAL PROJECTS AND NEWS. BEFORE DOING THIS FOR A CLIENT I RAN THE SAME PROCESS ON TWO THROWAWAY TEMPLATES TO LEARN WHERE IT BREAKS, WHICH IS WHY THE REAL MIGRATION SHIPPED WITHOUT SURPRISES.
