What CMS is this site using?

Enter a URL and see what the site is built with: the CMS or site builder and its version, the plugins and framework on top, its analytics and marketing tags, and where it is hosted.

What the CMS detector finds

One request to the page, read the way a browser receives it. Each technology is matched by what it leaves in the code, not by words on the page, so an article about WordPress is not taken for a WordPress site.

How to tell what CMS a website uses by hand

  • The generator tag. View the page source and search for generator: many platforms write their name and version there, such as <meta name="generator" content="WordPress 6.5">.
  • File paths. /wp-content/ is WordPress, cdn.shopify.com is Shopify, static.wixstatic.com is Wix, static1.squarespace.com is Squarespace, /sites/default/files/ is Drupal.
  • Response headers. In the browser's network tab: X-Generator, X-Powered-By and Server often name the CMS or the host.
  • The admin address. /wp-admin/ leads to the WordPress login, /administrator/ to Joomla's, /user/login to Drupal's.

Questions about CMS detection

What CMS is this site using?

Enter its address above. The detector loads the page as a browser would and reads what the platform leaves behind: the generator tag, the paths its files are served from (/wp-content/ for WordPress, cdn.shopify.com for Shopify), and the headers its servers answer with.

How can I tell if a website is built with WordPress?

Open the page source (Ctrl+U, or Cmd+Option+U on a Mac) and search for wp-content. A WordPress site loads its theme and plugins from /wp-content/ and its scripts from /wp-includes/, and many still have <meta name="generator" content="WordPress 6.x">. Adding /wp-admin/ to the address usually leads to the WordPress login.

Why does the detector find no CMS?

Either there is none (the site is built with a framework such as Next.js or plain HTML, and its content may come from a headless CMS that leaves no trace in the page), or the platform was set up to hide itself: no generator tag and files served from a renamed folder or a CDN. The detector then lists what it could see, such as the framework and the host.

Can it find a site's hosting provider?

It names the host or CDN when the response headers give it away: Cloudflare, Vercel, Netlify, Amazon CloudFront, Fastly, WP Engine, Kinsta and others. A site behind Cloudflare shows Cloudflare, not the server behind it.

Is it the same as WhatCMS or Wappalyzer?

It answers the same question for one page at a time, without an extension or an account. It also links straight to a full audit of the same page, so you see what the platform does for its SEO, speed and accessibility, not only its name.

Why would an agency check what CMS a site uses?

To qualify a lead before the first call: a WordPress site with no analytics, an old Joomla install or a Wix site that wants to move is each a different pitch. The CMS also tells you who can make the fixes: a plugin setting, a theme edit or a developer.
