    Hi Gangsterpart,

    If you use google chrome, you can install Wappalyzer. It is Google Chrome add-on.. From it you can know what a site built on.

    Hopefully it can help you.

    Its simple:

    Just go https://chrome.google.com/webstore/c...sions?hl=en-US this link and search Wappalyzer extensions. Install Wappalyzer on your browser. After installing it then restart your browser. Then open your chrome browser again and browser your website link. Top Right site of browser you will see.

    I hope its help you.

    Yes as Michael mentioned wappalyzer is the best option. else you have to read the source code and analyze the structure and code syntax, if you are well aware of the same.

    For example if I analyze https://www.searchgrowth.com.au using wappalyzer I see lot of thing coming up, since that site is using many plugins and frame work which also includes wordpress cms

    It appears to be a Squarespace site. https://www.squarespace.com

    Fredbou is the winner, Squarespace.
    All you had to do was view source, that should be the first step!
    Line 7: <!-- This is Squarespace. -->

    Squarespace makes really nice looking sites, definitely competes with wordpress.

    Hi Gangster,

    You can use Wappalyser to check the platforms for any website.

    Here is the extension of Wappalyzer - https://chrome.google.com/webstore/d...nfbllamg?hl=en

    Thanks

      But how do professionals do it ? by reading the code, but what to look for. If it says wp-admin, obviously, its wp but what about others?
