What is a tech stack detector?
A tech stack detector analyzes any website URL and identifies the technologies it uses, including frontend frameworks (React, Vue, Angular), CMS platforms (WordPress, Shopify), hosting providers (Cloudflare, Vercel), analytics tools, and more.
How does this tool detect website technologies?
It fetches the website's HTML source code and HTTP response headers via server-side request, then pattern-matches against a database of 170+ technology signatures. It checks HTML patterns, script URLs, meta tags, HTTP headers, cookies, CSS patterns, and DNS records.
Is this tool free to use?
Yes, Tech Stack Detector is completely free with no signup required. You can scan unlimited websites and export results as JSON.
How is this different from BuiltWith or Wappalyzer?
Unlike BuiltWith (paid for detailed reports) and Wappalyzer (requires browser extension), this is a free web-based tool that works instantly. It also provides performance analysis, security headers, DNS records, SSL certificates, and SEO meta tags in one scan.
Can it detect backend technologies?
Backend technologies (like Python, Ruby, Java) are only detectable when the server leaks information via HTTP headers (e.g., X-Powered-By). Databases and internal infrastructure are never exposed to the frontend and cannot be detected by any passive scanner.
