CMS Detector

Detect what content management system a website is using by analyzing HTML fingerprints and response headers.

How CMS Detection Works

This tool checks a page's HTML source code and HTTP response headers for known CMS fingerprints. Common signals include:

  • Generator meta tags — Many CMS platforms include a <meta name="generator"> tag.
  • File path patterns — Each CMS uses distinctive directory structures like /wp-content/ or /sites/default/.
  • JavaScript / CSS signatures — Unique script names, version patterns, and asset paths.
  • HTTP response headers — Some platforms add custom headers like X-Shopify-Shop-Api or X-Generator.
