@kazuhiko , since @vpelletier told me you knew websites :)

Each time a website is cloned, it keeps all the before traverse hooks from original website.

We can see for example this one has 8 before traverse hooks.

This seems harmless, but must have a small impact on performance.

If I use ab -n 1000 website with 1 before traverse hooks, I have:

Requests per second:    74.15 [#/sec] (mean)
Time per request:       13.485 [ms] (mean)

After cloning the web site 10 times, it will have 10 before traverse hooks. ab timing on this website becomes:

Requests per second:    68.14 [#/sec] (mean)
Time per request:       14.676 [ms] (mean)

If I clone 100 times, for a web site with 100 before traverse hooks, even if this becames unrealistic, it becomes:

Requests per second:    39.64 [#/sec] (mean)
Time per request:       25.227 [ms] (mean)

So I guess it is better to also do something to cleanup the old websites. This is especially on this part that I am not sure the approach is correct. I integrated in the existing code in WebSite._edit but shouldn't this be checkConsistency / fixConsistency ?
