Drupal CMS Adds SEO Tools Recipe, Aiming Beyond WordPress Migration

Staff Reporter

Paweł Ginalski’s latest blog post explores the growing appeal of Drupal CMS, a preconfigured and stable version of Drupal aimed at usability. Released amidst internal issues in the WordPress ecosystem, Drupal CMS is positioned to attract WordPress users seeking a reliable alternative. However, Ginalski emphasizes that its appeal goes beyond WordPress migration. With a friendly interface and streamlined module installation, Drupal CMS offers an out-of-the-box experience while retaining Drupal's powerful capabilities.

The post highlights “recipes”—reusable configurations that simplify site-building. One key example is the SEO Tools recipe, which includes the Simple XML Sitemap module. Introduced in version 1.1.0, this recipe enables automatic sitemap configuration for default content. Ginalski also shares setup instructions via the UI and Drush, including for DDEV environments. He notes that while the IndexNow protocol is supported through the simple_sitemap_engines submodule, it isn’t enabled by default yet. An issue is already open to improve this in future releases.
