What is this website built with?

Type a website address. Get the builder or CMS behind it (WordPress, Wix, Squarespace, Shopify, Webflow, GoDaddy, Weebly, Duda, Joomla, Drupal, Framer, Carrd or Google Sites), the evidence for each match and how sure the match is. Free, no account.

Example: a sample plumber's page we wrote for this demo (smithplumbing.example is not a real site). Type any website above for a live check.

smithplumbing.example

smithplumbing.example is built with WordPress 5.8.2 (high confidence, 5 signals).

How the detector works

We request the page once and read its response headers and HTML. Each builder leaves its own marks: a generator meta tag, a header only its servers send (Wix's X-Wix-Request-Id, Shopify's X-ShopId), or files loaded from its own CDN (wixstatic.com, cdn.shopify.com, website-files.com). A mark only that builder makes counts 3, a builder-owned file host or path counts 2, a weaker hint counts 1. A total of 3 or more is high confidence, 2 is medium, 1 is low. Every mark found is listed as evidence, so you can check it yourself in the page source.

Builders checked: WordPress, Wix, Squarespace, Shopify, Webflow, GoDaddy Website Builder, Weebly, Duda, Joomla, Drupal, Framer, Carrd, Google Sites. A site can show two, for example WordPress with a Shopify buy button. Sites that strip their generator tag and serve files from their own domain can hide from any detector.

Why web designers check this

The builder tells you what a rebuild means. A five-page Wix or GoDaddy site is usually a quick move to something the owner controls; an old WordPress install may need updates more than a redesign. The detector does not tell you whether the owner is happy with it; the site's age, phone layout and last update help there.

Questions

How can I tell what a website is built with?

Look for a generator meta tag, builder-specific headers and the CDN its files load from. This tool reads all three and lists each match as evidence.

How do I know if a site is WordPress?

Paths with /wp-content/ or /wp-includes/, a WordPress generator tag, or a Link header to /wp-json/ (the WordPress REST API) are the usual signs.

Can a website hide its builder?

Yes. A site can remove its generator tag and serve files from its own domain, in which case no outside check can be sure.

Does this check store the sites I look up?

No. Each check reads the page once and nothing you type is saved.
