Top 100 Drupal Websites Worldwide

By Riaan Burger on

This website lists the current top 100 Drupal websites (with a few limitations).

http://top-drupal-sites.burtronix.co.za

Where does the data come from

The top sites list comes from Alexa as sold by Amazon (which owns Alexa) through their Web Services.

Currently the site data is then gathered with a custom module that parses them in serial (needs to be rewritten to be faster with a non-blocking rolling cURL ripper some time in the future). The same module also obtains the detection JSON from the Wappalizer project and re-implements it as PHP logic on the fly.

Limitations

I didn't write additional logic to try to determine if a site is using Drupal when the site takes obvious measures to obfuscate the use of Drupal. Many top-end sites prefer to keep such things hidden.

One large part of the detection logic of Wappalizer needs a JS run-time environment which is obviously not available to the PHP parser.

A Bit of History

The site was first put together to get a better idea of the top South African websites that run Drupal as we're in the beginnings of putting together Drupal Association South Africa. It ran a few times already to generate the top South African websites for us, the history of which is available here: http://top-sa-drupal-sites.burtronix.co.za

The Future

Important Security Update: Reset Your Drupal.org Password

By holly.ross.drupal on

The Drupal.org Security Team and Infrastructure Team has discovered unauthorized access to account information on Drupal.org and groups.drupal.org.

This access was accomplished via third-party software installed on the Drupal.org server infrastructure, and was not the result of a vulnerability within Drupal itself. This notice applies specifically to user account data stored on Drupal.org and groups.drupal.org, and not to sites running Drupal generally.

Information exposed includes usernames, email addresses, and country information, as well as hashed passwords. However, we are still investigating the incident and may learn about other types of information compromised, in which case we will notify you accordingly. As a precautionary measure, we've reset all Drupal.org account holder passwords and are requiring users to reset their passwords at their next login attempt. A user password can be changed at any time by taking the following steps.

  1. Go to https://drupal.org/user/password
  2. Enter your username or email address.
  3. Check your email and follow the link to enter a new password.
    • It can take up to 15 minutes for the password reset email to arrive. If you do not receive the e-mail within 15 minutes, make sure to check your spam folder as well.
