Drupal 7 Support Ends: Critical Next Steps for Website Owners

banner image

After 14 years, Drupal 7 has officially reached its end of life (EOL) as of January 5, 2025, marking the conclusion of one of the longest-supported versions in web technology. A blog post by Enbecom highlights the significance of this milestone and outlines essential steps for website owners still relying on Drupal 7.  

Originally launched on January 5, 2011, Drupal 7's support was extended multiple times beyond its initial EOL date of November 2021 due to its widespread use and the COVID-19 pandemic. However, with the final EOL now in effect, the CMS will no longer receive security updates or bug fixes, putting sites at heightened risk.  

Enbecom advises site owners to upgrade to Drupal 10 or 11 for modern security, performance, and compatibility. While extended support from third-party vendors offers a temporary solution, the blog stresses that upgrading is a more sustainable, cost-effective choice.  

The blog also highlights Enbecom’s expertise in facilitating seamless migrations, urging businesses to act swiftly to future-proof their websites.
