The glossary entries still come from the existing Plus2Net database
The original page reads SEO terms from the faqplus table for category cat_id=1.
That database content is preserved rather than silently replacing definitions we cannot see in the PHP source.
Separate content-audit requirement:
the page template is modernized, but the glossary definitions themselves should be reviewed periodically in the database.
SEO terminology changes over time, so outdated entries should be revised or removed at the source rather than hidden by a new layout.
