Follow the Following Steps to Discover What Runs a Website

There are several ways to determine what platform a website is built on:

1. Look for platform-specific indicators: Many website builders and content management systems (CMS) include specific indicators in the website’s HTML code. For example, WordPress websites often include “/wp-content/” in their URLs, and Joomla websites might include “/index.php?option=com_” in their URLs.
2. Check the website’s source code: You can view a website’s source code by right-clicking on the page and selecting “View Page Source” or “Inspect”. Look for references to specific CMS or website builders, such as “WordPress” or “Squarespace”.
3. Use online tools: There are several online tools that can help you identify the platform a website is built on. One popular tool is BuiltWith (https://builtwith.com/), which can detect the CMS, hosting provider, and other technologies used by a website.
4. Check the website’s footer: Many websites include information about the platform or CMS used in their footer. Look for links to the website builder or CMS website, or for copyright statements that include the platform name.
5. Use WhatRuns Chrome Extention: Allows users to quickly identify the technologies used on a website. It provides information on the website’s content management system (CMS), JavaScript frameworks, analytics tools, fonts, and other technologies used to build the website. By clicking on the WhatRuns icon in the Chrome browser, users can view a list of the technologies used on the website they are currently visiting. This information can be useful for developers, designers, and marketers who want to know more about a website’s underlying technology stack. The WhatRuns extension is free to use and can be installed from the Chrome Web Store.
