Tech stack checker

What a website is built with: framework, CMS, hosting, analytics, payments and more.

Runs a live check from our server · free, no signup

Find out what a website is built with. Enter a URL and we read its HTML, response headers and cookies for the fingerprints of about 70 technologies: frameworks, site builders, hosting, CDNs, analytics, payments, chat and auth.

How to use the Tech stack checker

  1. Enter the website's URL.
  2. Press Detect stack.
  3. Read the technologies grouped by category, plus anything the site reports about itself.

How detection works

Every technology leaves traces. Next.js serves files from /_next/static, WordPress from /wp-content, Vercel adds an x-vercel-id header, Stripe loads js.stripe.com. We fetch the page once from our server and match those traces. Nothing runs in a browser, so tools injected later by JavaScript (some analytics and chat widgets) can be missed.

Why founders check a stack

To see how a competitor built their product, pick tools that similar startups trust, check which analytics or payments a site uses before a partnership, or confirm your own site doesn't leak more than it should through headers like X-Powered-By.

Hiding your own stack

Remove the X-Powered-By header and generator meta tags, and keep your server header generic. It won't stop a determined look at your asset paths, but it removes the easy tells and the version numbers attackers look for.
