Frequently asked questions

How does it detect technologies?

It analyzes HTTP headers (Server, X-Powered-By, Via, CF-Ray, X-Vercel-Id…) and HTML patterns: JS variables (__NEXT_DATA__, __NUXT__, ___gatsby), CMS meta tags (WordPress generator, Shopify), analytics scripts (GTM, GA4, Hotjar) and builder classes/attributes (Wix, Webflow, Squarespace).

Why doesn't it detect all technologies?

Detection is based on visible passive signals. Backends (database, server language) are not detectable. Well-optimized production frameworks may not leave traces. Coverage is for the most popular stacks.

What is knowing the tech stack useful for?

Competitive analysis, benchmarking, learning (what a site you admire uses) and technology decisions for new projects.

Is it different from Wappalyzer?

Wappalyzer has a huge fingerprint database. This tool is lighter, open source and requires no extension. For full coverage Wappalyzer is better; for speed without installing anything, this tool.

Is the data accurate?

It's indicative — technologies with visible signals in public HTML/headers. Some sites intentionally hide their stack. Take it as indication, not absolute certainty.

Is it legal to detect a website's tech stack?

Yes. This tool analyzes only public HTML (what any browser would see) and HTTP headers (visible in any browser's DevTools). This is exactly what Wappalyzer, BuiltWith, W3Techs and thousands of SEO tools do. We don't access any private system or perform any type of active scanning.
