WordPress OR Drupal what is your first choice?

Additional functionality — SEO, forms, site functionality
WordPress is equipped with a much larger number of plug-ins and templates than any other platform. The official catalog alone offers about 50,000 plug-ins, which allow you to create resources from a simple blog to a large portal. Thanks to the wide popularity of WordPress, its developers are creating free or inexpensive new extensions that will help equip a theme-based site, SEO-optimized for promotion on search engine. Premium versions of plug-ins are also available, which will allow you to apply for support to developers and get additional features to customize the site functionality (i.e. the basic functionality of the plug-in is available for free, and additional functions are available in the paid version).

Drupal has a similar difficulty with installing templates and modules. The webmaster should find the necessary add-ons on a third-party site, and then set their address in the “Modules” or “Themes” section to activate. Drupal is easily configurable with the help of a lot of available modules – on the official site there are about 37,000. It is possible to directly edit files in the website footer, which is convenient for those users who make significant changes in the structure of the site due to its development.

Sites on Drupal, generally, are characterized by improved productivity — the site load speed faster and have a shorter response time than resources developed on WordPress and Joomla. Part of this is due to the fact that this CMS does not require significant resources, an expensive server or hosting. Keep in mind, as with all platforms, installing a large number of third-party modules can reduce the speed of the site.

The use of plug-ins and modules makes it possible for any CMS to make sites on almost any subject from landings and business cards to large portals and online stores. In the case of using WordPress, you can find a suitable template for any purpose. For a website on Drupal it is necessary to tinker with the settings — this platform is more suitable for advanced users.

Communities and useful information
Accessible technical support is necessary for beginners in site building, because when creating a new site, there are usually various questions. Both platforms provide useful information on the installation and management of sites.

If there are problems with the site on WordPress, it’s easy to connect to a community of millions of developers and experienced users who already use and develop this system. Help can be found in official WordPress documents, codes, reference books, blogs and any forum on site building and web design.

Drupal is characterized by a very active user community and provides extensive documentation, news and updates, support forums and chat rooms, where you can find answers to fairly complex questions.

Best localization and translation
A significant number of websites that are created every day are multilingual or written in a language other than English. Both platforms support the development of multilingual sites and allow you to configure in different languages.

WordPress provides more than 50 languages in the admin panel. New languages are installed in one click. This platform does not support multilingual sites by itself, but you can connect special plug-ins that allow them to be created. The most popular templates and plug-ins are also available in several languages. Their developers actively respond to the call for help for translation into other languages: if you made such a translation, you can offer it to the developer and get a discount on this product.
Drupal is equipped with built-in capabilities for processing multilingual websites. You will need to add modules to select the local content language. The languages of the admin interface are configured in the configuration section.

What is the difference between the security of sites on these platforms?
Pay attention to such important factors as security when choosing a platform for website development. Almost any Internet resource is vulnerable to hacker attacks. WordPress portals are often hacked, due to the prevalence of this platform in the world. However, the WordPress community quickly finds possible vulnerabilities in the system. Sites are updated when a new patch appears, and they are additionally protected by two-factor authentication and other advanced methods. The mechanism for displaying updates in the admin panel allows users to monitor security and respond in a timely manner to any problems.
