Baseline: aphshalloffame.com (before migration)

Snapshot: Internet Archive capture 20201026035002 of http://aphshalloffame.com/ (the last version of the old site before the rebuild started on 2020-11-18) Recorded: 2026-10-09

The old site was never in a git repo, so the Internet Archive is the only record of it. For the Lighthouse runs, the archived HTML, stylesheet and images were downloaded as-is, with the absolute http://aphshalloffame.com/ links rewritten to local paths, and served from localhost with gzip (the original Apache server used gzip, per its archived response headers).

Failed audits, the same on all three pages:

  • Accessibility: color-contrast, heading-order, html-has-lang, image-alt, target-size
  • Best Practices: doctype, viewport, font-size, image-size-responsive
  • SEO: meta-description, image-alt

Notes

  • The high Performance scores are real. The old pages are a few kilobytes of HTML with no JavaScript, so they paint quickly. They also show very little: the homepage has no photos, and each ceremony page shows a single thumbnail.
  • Best Practices is overstated. Lighthouse treats localhost as secure, so the old site’s lack of HTTPS is not counted against it. Served from the real http:// origin it would also fail is-on-https.
  • The 404 in the console on every page is the missing favicon in the local copy. It is not counted as a finding.
  • Sidebar counts come from grep -c 'Inductees/' on each downloaded page. The “up to 107 files” figure assumes every archived HTML page carries the sidebar, which held for all 5 sampled pages.
  • Evidence: curl -sI "https://web.archive.org/web/20201026035002id_/http://aphshalloffame.com/" (the x-archive-orig-* headers), and the CDX listing https://web.archive.org/cdx/search/cdx?url=aphshalloffame.com/*&to=20210601&collapse=urlkey.
