Technical Solution

Legacy version

The first version of the site used WordPress, a well-known solution.

Overhaul

Given the difficulty of keeping such a site up to date while ensuring its security, we chose to radically change the technology to significantly reduce the attack surface.

By moving to a static site generator, Hugo, the generated HTML pages are deployed and hosted for free via GitHub Pages.

To make the blog GDPR compliant, I had the opportunity to implement the tarteaucitron tool, which manages visitor consent for cookies used by the site (Google Analytics and Disqus).
