Why Upgrading to Drupal 10 is Critical for Your Website’s Future
Upgrading to Drupal 10 brings significant benefits, especially as businesses still running on Drupal 7 or 8 face the end of life for these versions. According to a blog post by Canton Group, the extended end-of-life date for Drupal 7 (now January 5, 2025) signals the urgency for businesses to begin migration efforts. Drupal 10 offers numerous enhancements, including faster performance—up to 20% compared to Drupal 8—and advanced security features like stronger password policies and improved third-party module security.
The new Claro admin theme makes site administration more accessible, and the Theme Starter Kit simplifies custom theme development. Additionally, Drupal 10 introduces better multilingual support and modern JavaScript components for a cleaner front-end experience. Before upgrading, businesses are advised to update their current Drupal 9 setup, ensure compatibility with PHP 8.1, and use tools like the Upgrade Status module to identify deprecated code and prepare for a smoother transition.
