Developers prefer WordPress because of its flexibility, user-friendliness, and diverse range of features. However, not all WordPress-based websites are the same. Here are some perplexing ways to determine if a site is using WordPress:<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Check_the_Site%E2%80%99s_Source_Code\"><\/span>1. Check the Site\u2019s Source Code<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>One of the easiest ways to check if a website is using WordPress is by reviewing its source code. This can be done by selecting \u201cView Page Source\u201d or \u201cView Source\u201d by right-clicking anywhere on the website. Look for the code snippet:<\/p>\n<p>&lt;meta name=&#8221;generator&#8221; content=&#8221;WordPress X.X.X&#8221; \/&gt;<\/p>\n<p>Replace &#8220;X.X.X&#8221; with the version number of WordPress. If the code exists, it means that the website was built using WordPress. However, some WordPress users intentionally hide their use of WordPress by disabling this feature, making this method unreliable.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Look_for_the_%E2%80%9Cwp-admin%E2%80%9D_URL\"><\/span>2. Look for the \u201c\/wp-admin\/\u201d URL<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>WordPress websites have a dashboard that permits site owners to handle their website\u2019s content. This dashboard is accessible through &#8220;wp-admin&#8221; URL. For example, if the website\u2019s domain name is &#8220;example.com,&#8221; the WordPress dashboard URL will be &#8220;example.com\/wp-admin\/&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re curious to know if a website is built with WordPress, add &#8220;\/wp-admin\/&#8221; to the URL. If it takes you to the login page, the website is probably built with WordPress.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Check_the_Website%E2%80%99s_Footer\"><\/span>3. Check the Website\u2019s Footer<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Another common approach to detecting a WordPress website is to examine the website\u2019s footer for any WordPress branding. WordPress websites usually feature a small logo in their footer with a link to the WordPress website.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Look_for_Common_WordPress_Names\"><\/span>4. Look for Common WordPress Names<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>When you install WordPress, a set of files and folders is created, some of which have the word &#8220;wp-&#8221; in them, such as &#8220;wp-admin,&#8221; &#8220;wp-include,&#8221; and &#8220;wp-content.&#8221; Your site\u2019s stylesheet URL may terminate with &#8220;\/wp-content\/themes\/&#8230;&#8221; or &#8220;wp-admin\/admin.php.&#8221; If you see these words in the website&#8217;s URLs, it is highly probable that it is built with WordPress.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Use_BuiltWith\"><\/span>5. Use BuiltWith<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>BuiltWith is a free online tool that enables you to identify the technologies a website is using. Enter the website\u2019s URL, and the tool will display a list of technologies utilized on that website. If the website is built with WordPress, BuiltWith will indicate it in the list of top technologies utilized.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_Check_the_Plugins_Used\"><\/span>6. Check the Plugins Used<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>WordPress offers an array of plugins that can enhance a website\u2019s functionality. To check if a website is using WordPress, inspect the website\u2019s code for WordPress plugins. Go through the website\u2019s source code, where they will be mentioned as \u201cwp-content\/plugins\/\u2026\u201d accompanied by the plugin name. If you see any mentions of WordPress plugins in the source code, the website is definitely using WordPress.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"7_Use_Wappalyzer\"><\/span>7. Use Wappalyzer<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Wappalyzer is a browser extension that allows you to observe the technologies a website is utilizing. It operates on most web browsers and necessitates no technical expertise. Install the Wappalyzer browser extension, navigate to the website you want to inspect, and click the Wappalyzer icon on your browser. It will display a list of software used on the website.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conclusion\"><\/span>Conclusion<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Determining if a website is built with WordPress can be advantageous for several reasons. It can aid in comprehending the technologies utilized on the website and its capabilities. We\u2019ve provided numerous ways to identify a WordPress website, ranging from reviewing the website\u2019s source code to using online tools. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Perplexing Ways to Determine if a Site is Built with WordPress WordPress has achieved immense popularity as a content management system for all kinds of&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":7209,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[3287],"tags":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/mauricemuteti.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/WORDPRESS-ULTIMATE-GUIDE-How-To-step-by-step-Tutorial.png","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mauricemuteti.info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9417"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mauricemuteti.info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mauricemuteti.info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mauricemuteti.info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mauricemuteti.info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=9417"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/mauricemuteti.info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9417\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mauricemuteti.info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/7209"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mauricemuteti.info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9417"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mauricemuteti.info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=9417"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mauricemuteti.info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=9417"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
