Ajaxify for Evolution CMS: HTML5 History API and Smarter Block Reloads

A look at an Evolution plugin that turned the site into a single-page-like experience by reloading only the blocks that actually changed.

Ajaxify was interesting because it pushed Evolution CMS toward a more application-like browsing experience without abandoning traditional page rendering. By using the HTML5 History API and block-level updates, it tried to combine faster navigation with ordinary template-driven sites.

Tools like this were important ecosystem experiments. They showed how far frontend behavior could be modernized without throwing away the CMS architecture underneath.
