Drupal 7 Support Ends: Why Upgrading to Drupal 10 is Crucial

Staff Reporter

Drupal 7 has officially reached its end of life on January 5, 2025, marking the end of community support, security updates, and core commits. With over 482,787 websites previously running on Drupal 7, organizations must now migrate to Drupal 10 to maintain security and functionality. A recent blog post by Grazitti Interactive suggests migrating to Drupal 10 to avoid further complexities.

The blog post highlights the key reasons for upgrading, including enhanced security, improved user experience, better performance, and mobile responsiveness. The migration process involves assessing the current site, evaluating modules, rebuilding themes, migrating data, and conducting rigorous testing before launching the new site.

The transition presents challenges such as module compatibility, data migration complexities, and theme conversion. However, Drupal 10 offers modern web technologies, improved security, and support for decoupled architectures with frameworks like React and Vue.js.

Grazitti Interactive recommends partnering with experienced developers to ensure a smooth and secure migration to Drupal 10 as businesses move toward digital maturity.
