Finished moving from Foundry 3 to Source

Shaking The Habitual
1

Finished rebuilding a 350 page website with Source it’s now published and am impressed with the result. I bought the Source + Addon pack when I found out Foundry 3 was no longer going to supported at short notice.

Initially I had to refer to the Source workbook a lot getting started but after a while got the hang of it. I like the ‘lightweight’ aspect of it if any Foundry users are looking for a new home I’d recommend Source.

Finally I haven’t tested this extensively but I have been running various pages through Google PageSpeed Insights to test the difference between Foundry and Source. I can confidently say there’s been a speed (Performance) boost and improvements in the other categories (accessibility, best practices & SEO).

Wow! Good job! That is a speedy conversion for such a big site.

Glad you found Source to be an adequate replacement for Foundry. Great to have you on board!!

Nice. I’m on a similar journey but not as quickly as you and have found Source to be well supported, with proper documentation.

How do you deal with 350 pages? Is it divided into a number of projects?

my biggest project even has more than 1,250 pages.

yes, in the meantime i have split the project. this has advantages, but also disadvantages.

but the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. especially the performance and it reduces the crashes of RW

So what are the maximum number of pages you run in a project?

It’s one project about 150MB in size. There were no crashes when building it or editing pages which I do daily. I’m using an M2 Mac Mini with 24GB.
