How many sites report each line
Week of October 11, 2026, counting only sites that report through the Update Status module, so this is an undercount (Drupal.org usage):
| Line | Reported sites |
|---|---|
| Drupal 10.x | about 276,475 |
| Drupal 8.x and 9.x (already end of life) | about 93,650 |
| Drupal 11.x | about 275,456 |
Options for a Drupal 10 site are on the Drupal 10 page. Drupal 7 options are on the Drupal 7 page.
