WordPress Theme Detector

Detect whether a site runs WordPress and identify theme and plugin signals.

Detection reads public signatures in the page's HTML, so it finds themes/plugins that leave visible traces. Sites using heavy caching, security plugins or custom builds may hide these.

About WordPress Theme Detector

WordPress Theme Detector identifies WordPress usage and surfaces theme and plugin signals on a public site. Designers searching "WordPress theme detector", "what theme is this site", or "WP plugin detector" want a faster answer than view-source archaeology.

Enter a URL and review detections. Heavily customised or heavily cached sites may hide fingerprints. Results are best-effort technical clues, not a guarantee.

Use detections for learning and competitive design research. Respect licenses - detecting a premium theme does not grant you rights to use it unpaid.

Frequently asked questions

Is detection always accurate?

No - custom builds and security plugins can mask signatures.

Can it see premium license keys?

No - it only looks at public footprints.

Does this work on headless WordPress?

Front-end fingerprints may be weaker when the public site is fully decoupled.

Is scanning legal?

Public HTTP requests for research are common; follow laws and terms, and do not attack sites.

Will the site owner know?

Ordinary page requests look like normal traffic; do not abuse with aggressive scraping.
