Why Choose Altudo for Secure and Scalable Drupal 10 Migration?

Millions of websites rely on Drupal to power their online presence. As of 2023, over 495,000 live sites use Drupal directly, with an additional 87,000 redirecting to these domains. However, many organizations remain on older versions of Drupal that are soon approaching their end-of-life.

Drupal 7, for example, which underpins thousands of sites, will no longer receive security updates after January 2025. This imminent cutoff underscores the importance of migrating to the latest stable version, Drupal 10. Yet for those stuck with older systems, the scale of an upgrade can seem daunting.

This is where expert guidance makes all the difference. As a certified Drupal partner, Altudo has helped many clients successfully carry out Drupal 10 migration. Through a proven process and track record of successful upgrades, Altudo can help minimize disruptions and ensure a smooth transition.

Why should you migrate to Drupal 10?

Drupal 10, launched earlier this year, aims to make the platform even more user-friendly and powerful for both developers and content creators. Here are some of its top benefits:

Modern admin and front-end themes for enhanced accessibility

Right off the bat, Drupal 10 has debuted with fresh administration and front-end themes that give the platform a more modern aesthetic look. Claro has replaced the previous backend theme with an accessible and easy-to-use interface. Olivero now serves as the new sleek and responsive default front-end theme. Both are designed with accessibility in mind.

Smoother editing experience

Drupal 10 incorporates the latest CKEditor 5 WYSIWYG editor, offering enhancements such as inline editing, direct handling of images/links, and cleaner pasted content. The outcome is an editing experience that's more intuitive and streamlined for content creators.

Accelerated page loads

The platform's JavaScript capabilities see an upgrade in Drupal 10 by replacing bulky jQuery libraries with lightweight, optimized components. This leads to faster page loads and improved overall performance.

Development workflow made simple

A new Theme Starterkit tool offers templates and resources to simplify the creation of custom themes like never before. Any developer can build on a stable base and take advantage of ongoing updates and fixes painlessly.

Drupal 10's innovative architecture, with its focus on API-first design and enhanced core functionality delivers a faster, more powerful platform for building websites. However, migrating to this next-generation platform presents a significant technical challenge. Major architectural shifts, from the underlying framework to data structures, can lead to compatibility issues with custom modules and themes built for older versions.

Altudo's Drupal experts can bridge this gap, ensuring a smooth transition that prioritizes robust security, data integrity, and maintains functionality of essential modules.
