Fix page compatibility issues with the new Hub
This issue is for coordinating the effort to upgrade old pages from the old (Metalsmith) Hub to the new (Gridsome) one.
Most pages are fine, but a large proportion have display issues due to their old, incompatible Markdown. Mainly the issue is mixing HTML and Markdown.
Hundreds of these pages are so old they're not useful anymore. But many aren't. So we want to make sure the important ones display well.
One strategy is to fix the most visited pages first. We can also go backward in time from the present and fix the most recent pages. Everything back to around March 2021 has already been retroactively fixed.
Here let's keep a list of broken pages and our progress in fixing them.
Progress
I've gone down the list of most visited* pages in order and fixed the top 113 (ending at /jxtx/foundation/). These pages represent about 88% of our traffic.
Note: I'm just doing a quick visual scan of each page, so there could still be more subtle issues I miss.
Issues like:
- links broken by #979
- notation
<like> <this>which unintentionally become html elements and simply fail to appear in the text - notation like
__this__which unintentionally becomes bolded instead of the underscores showing
* by unique pageviews for the year preceding 2021-08-31, according to Google Analytics (see NickSto/galaxy-private#1 for full list if you have permissions).
The Long Tail
I'm focusing first on the top X most visited pages, but how much of our traffic does this cover?
According to Google Analytics data for the year leading up to Aug 31, 2021, the top 100 pages account for 86.67% of our traffic (page visits). Here's the numbers for other metrics:
| Top X Pages | % of Visits |
|---|---|
| 10 | 51% |
| 25 | 68% |
| 50 | 78% |
| 100 | 86.7% |
| 150 | 90.8% |
| 200 | 93.1% |
| 300 | 95.7% |
| 400 | 97.2% |
| 500 | 98.1% |
