Website Technology Detector

See what a website is built with, from the CMS and hosting to analytics, page builders and chat widgets.

Try it with

Free, no sign-up. We fetch the public page you enter from our server to run the checks. Results are kept for a few minutes and not shared.

How to Use the Website Technology Detector

  1. Enter the address of any website, such as a competitor or a site you like.
  2. Click Analyse. We read the page code and server headers for known fingerprints.
  3. Browse the results by group: platform, server and hosting, analytics, plugins and more.
  4. Use what you learn to plan your own website or brief your developer.

Why It Matters

Knowing how a website is built is useful when you plan your own. If a competitor's fast, good-looking site runs on WordPress with a particular page builder, or on Shopify, that tells you what is realistic for your budget and which skills your developer needs.

The detector looks for fingerprints in the page code and server headers: file paths such as /wp-content/, generator tags, cookies and script addresses. It only reads the public home page, so tools used behind a login or loaded later by scripts may not appear, and a site can hide its technology on purpose.

Website Technology Detector: Questions

How does the technology detector work?
It loads the page once and matches its code, headers and cookies against about 80 known patterns for CMSs, frameworks, hosting, analytics, advertising, chat and payment tools.
Why is the CMS not detected?
Custom-built sites have no standard fingerprint, and some sites remove or hide signs of the platform. In that case only the server, hosting and add-ons are shown.
Can it tell me which theme or all plugins a site uses?
It detects common page builders and plugins that leave visible traces. Plugins that only run on the server cannot be seen from outside.
Is WordPress or a custom website better?
It depends on your needs and budget. Read our comparison guide, or ask us for honest advice on what fits your business.
