Drush Script to Assess the Complexity of your Drupal 7 Website

| | 2 min read

It is extremely important to assess the complexity of your Drupal 7 website before you plan to upgrade/migrate it to Drupal 9. We have created a tool that helps you in this process.

Drupal 7 Audit

The Drupal 7 audit is a Drush command which can do a full site audit to capture the essential elements required for assessing the complexity of your Drupal 7 site.

The script will capture the following elements and prepare a neat report which can be given to any Drupal vendor to get an estimate of your Drupal 7 to 9 migration.

Multiple Drupal 7 Website?

If you are managing multiple Drupal 7 websites in a Drupal hosting system like Pantheon, no need to execute this Drush command manually on all the websites. It is possible to automate this script to execute on all your Drupal 7 websites on Pantheon using Terminus, multi-dev environment, and durst features provided by Pantheon. We recently executed this script for a client who has 170+ Drupal websites in Pantheon, and it took only a few hours to get this done, without even touching the production environment.
