Migrate to Drupal 9
According to the last Drupal announcement, Drupal 7's end of life (EOL) is scheduled for November 1, 2023. After that date, your Drupal 7 site will not receive security updates, new features or new modules. Now you can quickly migrate or upgrade your site to Drupal 9.
Why hurrying up the migration to Drupal 9:
Drupal 7 EOL is closer every day. The migration process may be complex, depending on your current site so you will require time to do it.
-
Drupal 8 has already reached its EOL, November 17, 2021.
-
Several modules are now part of Drupal core, meaning more functionalities with less external dependencies.
-
It is the best excuse for a site's redesign and look refreshing. Not only may your website's engine be updated but it is also an opportunity to refresh your site and make it more user friendly.
-
The next Drupal version, 10, is scheduled for December 2022. Even if it will be possible to migrate to it from Drupal 7; Drupal itself recommends migrating to version 9 to ease the version 10 migration process.
-
With Drupal 9, we may export all of the site's configuration to code. This way, you may revert to the desired state if something is changed by mistake; saving time when this occurs and avoiding losing information.
-
Drupal 9 version improves security, better performance and new features. Also, its interface is easier to use so you may Save time using the platform and invest it in creating content!
-
All of the new modules created by the Drupal community are Drupal 9 compatible, meaning you will be able to implement much more features in your website!
