What Website Technology Detector does, with a checked example
Paste a page's HTML source, or point this tool at a URL, and it scans the markup - meta tags, script and link paths, inline JS globals, cookie names - and any response headers it can read, matching them against a reference list of known technology fingerprints for CMS, JS frameworks, analytics, CDN, and hosting. Most people expect it to profile any site from a URL alone; in practice a live cross-origin fetch is limited by the browser's CORS rules, so header-based signals like Server or X-Powered-By are frequently unavailable, and pasting the full page source gives noticeably more complete results.
Worked example
A concrete input and expected output from the current implementation.
Input
<meta name="generator" content="WordPress 6.5.2" />
<link rel="https://api.w.org/" href="https://example.com/wp-json/" />
<script src="https://example.com/wp-content/themes/twentytwentyfour/js/script.js"></script>
<script async src="https://www.googletagmanager.com/gtag/js?id=G-ABC123"></script>
->
Expected output
CMS: WordPress 6.5.2 (meta generator tag)
Theme: twentytwentyfour (wp-content/themes path)
REST API: WordPress REST API exposed (wp-json link)
Analytics: Google Analytics 4 (gtag.js, ID G-ABC123)
Server / CDN / Hosting: not detected
Each line comes from one distinct string in the pasted markup; no HTTP headers were included in this input, so the server, CDN, and hosting fields have nothing to match against and stay empty.
