Frequently Asked Questions

What is a CMS?

A CMS (Content Management System) is software that lets you create, manage, and publish digital content without coding. WordPress, Drupal, and Joomla are traditional CMS platforms. Webflow, Shopify, and Framer are modern alternatives.

How do you detect which CMS a website uses?

We analyze HTTP response headers, HTML source code, JavaScript file paths, CDN domains, cookie names, and meta generator tags. Each CMS leaves unique fingerprints in these locations.

Can a website hide its CMS?

Partially. Removing generator meta tags is common, but CDN paths, API endpoints, and script structures are harder to conceal. We check multiple signals to improve accuracy.

What's the difference between a CMS and a website builder?

A CMS focuses on content management with developer customization. A website builder (like Wix or Squarespace) is more all-in-one with drag-and-drop UI and hosting. We detect both.
