Security Enhancements: Updates to JavaScript libraries and advanced cybersecurity protocols help mitigate emerging threats.

Improved Integration: Support for SQL Server 2022 and expanded Azure services enhances system compatibility and scalability.

Performance Optimization: Enhanced Solr indexing with faster data availability through “soft commit” ensures quicker search performance.

Language Support: Custom languages are now supported natively without requiring additional .NET integrations.

These updates collectively strengthen Sitecore’s capabilities as a secure, high-performing digital experience platform.

Streamlined Migration Tools in Sitecore 10.4

Migration to Sitecore XP 10.4 has been simplified through upgraded tools and detailed documentation:

Migration utilities support content, media, and user transfers from Sitecore XM to Sitecore XM Cloud.

Developers can now focus on frontend migration without backend disruptions.

Tools to support migration from Sitecore XP to Sitecore CDP (Customer Data Platform) minimize time and effort.

These updates make transitioning to the cloud more efficient while maintaining data integrity and uptime.

Accessibility Improvements in Sitecore 10.4

Accessibility has received significant attention in this update:

Screen Reader Compatibility: Enhanced features allow better navigation for visually impaired users.

Keyboard Navigation: All interactive site elements are now accessible without a mouse.

Improved Visual Support: Color contrast settings have been optimized for readability and usability.

These enhancements make both public-facing websites and authoring environments more inclusive and user-friendly.

Personalization Tools: More refined audience segmentation allows for highly tailored content delivery.

Content Hub Integration: Improved workflows streamline content production and distribution across channels.

These features empower marketing teams to drive engagement and boost campaign effectiveness.

SXA vs. SXA Headless: Understanding the Difference

Sitecore offers two main approaches for web development:

SXA (Sitecore Experience Accelerator): Provides a user-friendly drag-and-drop interface with reusable components for rapid site development.

SXA Headless: Decouples frontend and backend, allowing developers to use modern JavaScript frameworks like React or Angular for frontend development.

Headless development is gaining popularity due to its flexibility, performance, and compatibility with modern digital architecture.

Benefits of Moving to Headless SXA with Sitecore 10.4

Integrating Headless SXA with Sitecore XP 10.4 provides several advantages:

Faster Load Times: Decoupled architecture and optimized APIs ensure improved performance.

Scalability: Headless setups handle high traffic more efficiently.

Agile Development: Frontend and backend teams can work independently, accelerating deployment cycles.

These benefits make the move to a headless model and the Sitecore 10.4 update a smart investment for future-ready digital experiences.

Key Considerations When Upgrading to Sitecore 10.4

Before upgrading, it’s important to evaluate the following:

Compatibility: Ensure all customizations and integrations are supported in Sitecore 10.4.

Staging & Testing: Conduct thorough testing in a staging environment to catch potential issues early.

Team Training: Equip your team with knowledge on the new features to fully utilize the platform.

Backup Protocols: Always create a complete backup of your existing Sitecore instance before upgrading.

A carefully planned upgrade ensures minimal downtime and maximum benefits from the new version.

A Walkthrough of Sitecore JSS and Next.js – Future of Headless Web Development

If you're looking to build fast, scalable, and personalized web applications using a headless CMS approach, this article is for you.

Sitecore JSS (JavaScript Services) empowers front-end developers to build full-scale apps using modern JavaScript frameworks like React, Angular, Vue, and Next.js—without requiring a running Sitecore instance.

Next.js, on the other hand, is a robust React-based framework that supports server-side rendering, static site generation, and seamless routing. Combined with Sitecore, it enables high-performance, decoupled digital experiences for enterprises.

In this guide, Murmu Software Infotech walks you through:

The fundamentals of Sitecore JSS & Next.js

Create a Sitecore JSS React Application and Apply Personalization

Empowering Front-End Development with Sitecore JavaScript Services

Introduction In today’s digital experience economy, Sitecore XP offers a unified platform for personalized content delivery across multiple channels and at scale. Built to support multi-site and multi-lingual environments, Sitecore CMS stands out with its flexibility and robustness.

One of the key innovations for front-end developers is Sitecore JavaScript Services (JSS)—an SDK that allows the creation of rich, component-based web applications using modern JavaScript frameworks like React, Angular, and VueJS. In this article, we’ll walk you through creating a ReactJS application using Sitecore JSS and applying personalization using a Sitecore-first approach.

-Prerequisites Before you begin, ensure you have the following:

-Node.js v14.15.4

-Sitecore 10 installed

-Sitecore JSS 15.0 (configured in Sitecore instance)

-JSS CLI (optional) – speeds up app creation and scaffolding

Step-by-Step Integration: ReactJS with Sitecore

-Step 1: Create a Sitecore Application In the Content Editor, navigate to: /sitecore/content → Create a Tenant, then a Site under that tenant.

Choose Sitecore-first or Code-first approach:

Sitecore-first: Templates and content created in Sitecore.

Code-first: Managed fully by the front-end team via Node.js.

-Step 2: Create a React Application Use JSS CLI to scaffold your React app:

bash Copy Edit jss create my-jss-app react Run npm install to set up dependencies.

Sitecore JSS packages will be added by default.

-Step 3: Configure Site and Hostname In IIS, add the desired host: demojss.dev.local

Add the hostname in your system's hosts file: C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts

-Step 4: Setup API Key in Sitecore Login at: https://demojss.dev.local/sitecore

Open Desktop → Content Editor

Generate and assign an API Key to your JSS app.

-Why Sitecore JSS? -Seamless integration with Sitecore CMS
