Validating an Umbraco 13 to 17 Upgrade with a Sitemap Audit

Boost Your Workflow with Umbraco 17: Developer Productivity Hacks

As developers, we’re always searching for ways to get our work done faster. New frameworks roll out and promise to make us blazing fast, AI tools keep booming with talk about writing half our code, and if you’ve ever sat through a developer conference lately, you know there’s always a session on “How to be More Productive.” But after working with Umbraco since version 4, I have to be honest: those massive productivity leaps don’t really come from the shiny, new, revolutionary tools. It all comes down to friction. And not the dramatic, show-stopping kind. I mean those hundreds of tiny speed bumps scattered all over your day. A few extra clicks in the Umbraco backoffice. Rebuilding the same component again and again. Always double-checking a property alias. Waiting for your solution to spin up. Poring over a monster Razor file, desperately trying to recall where you put that chunk of markup. None of these feel like deal-breakers on their own, but stacked together? Suddenly, you’re delivering features at a crawl. What’s won me over with the latest Umbraco versions, especially Umbraco 17, is just how much more aligned the platform is with standard .NET development. It feels less like you’re wrestling with a quirky CMS and more like you’re just building .NET applications. There’s a real payoff: less fighting the system means more time solving real business problems.Over the years I’ve picked up quite a few habits that speed up Umbraco development and make it less painful—some are tied directly to Umbraco 17, while others are just hard-earned lessons from a decade of building websites. Here’s what’s helped the most for me.
