Technology and CMS Detector

Enter a URL: the tool compares response headers, HTML, scripts and cookies with a signature list and shows what it found, with a confidence level and the matching clue.

Privacy and cost

This tool runs a live check on our servers. Free accounts get 3 live checks per day in total across all such tools. We keep your report in your account so you can delete it any time.

How it works

  1. The page is downloaded once (headers, HTML, script and stylesheet URLs).
  2. Each signature adds up clues: header, HTML pattern, script, generator tag or cookie.
  3. Technologies are grouped by category with a confidence percentage and the evidence that triggered the detection.

Example

A "server: cloudflare" header with cf-ray and a link to /wp-content/ give Cloudflare (CDN) and WordPress (CMS), each with its clue shown.

What the result means

Detection is an estimate based on public signatures: a site can hide its headers, and a dynamically loaded script or client-side rendering may escape analysis. A technology missing from the list is not necessarily absent from the site.

Common problems this tool helps with

  • Knowing which CMS or framework a competitor's site runs on before an audit.
  • Spotting tracking or chat scripts that weigh the page down.
  • Checking which CDN or host is answering.
  • Identifying versions or modules exposed publicly.

Frequently asked questions

Is detection 100% reliable?

No. It relies on signatures and shows a confidence. Several matching clues give a safer result than a single one.

Are technologies loaded by JavaScript seen?

Only if their tag or script appears in the HTML the server returns.

Does the tool send many requests?

A single request to the page you analyse.
