Replatform Radar Finds Drupal Infrastructure Strengths and Structured Data Gap

Government websites using Drupal showed high adoption of canonical tags and HTTP Strict Transport Security in an analysis published by Replatform Radar. The publisher reports canonical tags on 91.1% of government Drupal sites and strict transport security on 78.3%. Its figures draw on open datasets containing 9,324 live .gov and .mil sites and 1,796 live .edu sites, alongside a vendor-fingerprint pass covering 18,682 domains.

Replatform Radar interprets the canonical and transport-security results as architectural strengths that can help sites retain important characteristics through a migration. Its broader State of AI Readiness 2026 research, however, gives Drupal a median AI Pulse score of 69.1 across 492 measurable sites, compared with 80.9 for WordPress. The wider ranking therefore does not support treating the government-sector results as evidence that Drupal leads other content management systems overall.

Structured data is the clearest weakness in the Drupal-specific comparison. Replatform Radar reports structured data on 15.3% of government Drupal sites, compared with 58.6% of government WordPress sites, and on 25.9% of higher-education Drupal sites, compared with 80.1% for WordPress. Its broader research methodology uses a single homepage request, excludes sites that are unreachable or block the measurement request, and identifies content management systems through fingerprinting. Replatform Radar also notes that its platform figures cover only sites with a detectable fingerprint, so the measurements document patterns among detected and measurable sites rather than demonstrating migration outcomes or overall CMS quality.
