What the tech stack checker detects

Paste any URL above and this free tool fingerprints the technologies running behind the page. It groups what it finds by category and scores each detection so you can tell a certain match from a weak signal:

Every match comes with a confidence score from 0 to 100% and the exact evidence it was detected from — a script URL, a header, a meta tag or a cookie — so you can verify it yourself instead of trusting a black box.

How website tech stack detection works

The checker reads only what the page already sends to any visitor's browser. It never logs in, never runs the site's JavaScript and never scans for vulnerabilities. Detection comes from four passive signals:

Because it is a passive check, a site with a custom in-house backend or a heavy reverse proxy in front of it may expose few fingerprints or none at all. That is a limitation of every website technology checker, this one included — a blank result usually means "nothing detectable from the outside," not "nothing there."

What you can use it for

Need this for many sites, or wired into a spreadsheet or a workflow? The full API returns the same tech-stack data as JSON from one HTTP call, alongside eight other checks — SEO audit, security headers, metadata, public contacts and AI-ready Markdown — on a free tier of 1,000 requests a month.

Frequently asked questions

How do I check what tech stack a website uses?

Paste the website's URL into the box above and press Check. The tool fingerprints the CMS, JavaScript framework, analytics, CDN and e-commerce platform from the page's HTML, script URLs, response headers and cookies, and shows each one with a confidence score and the evidence it matched on. No signup and no API key.

Is this tech stack checker free?

Yes. This page is completely free with no account, no API key and no limit on how many URLs you can check. The API it is built on also has a free tier of 1,000 requests a month if you want the same tech-stack data as JSON.

How do I find out what a website is built with?

Enter the address and the checker groups everything it detects by category: CMS, framework, analytics, CDN, e-commerce, UI library and fonts. It works from signals the page already sends to any browser, so you get an answer in a second or two without installing anything.

How accurate is website technology detection?

It is a passive check, so it is reliable for anything that leaves a fingerprint in the HTML, scripts, headers or cookies, which covers most mainstream CMSs, frameworks, analytics tools and CDNs. Custom in-house backends and heavily proxied sites expose little and may return few results. Every tech-stack checker shares this limit.

Does it detect JavaScript frameworks like React and Next.js?

Yes. React, Next.js, Vue, Nuxt, Angular, Svelte, Gatsby and similar frameworks are detected from their build output and runtime markers, each with a confidence score.

Can I check the tech stack of many websites at once?

Not on this page, which handles one URL at a time. The full API takes one URL per call plus a batch endpoint for up to 10 URLs, returning the same data as JSON. The free tier is 1,000 requests a month.

What is the difference between this and Wappalyzer?

Wappalyzer is mainly a browser extension plus a paid API. This is a URL-based check with a free JSON API and an open-source (MIT) detector, and every result here shows the evidence each technology was matched on.
