Enter a site address to see whether it runs on WordPress, with the version and theme when the page shows them. Free, no signup.

FreeNo signupNo account or emailLast checked November 2026

A free checker for whether a website is built with WordPress. Enter a URL and it reads the page's HTML for WordPress paths (wp-content, wp-includes, wp-json) and the generator tag, and shows the evidence, plus the version and theme folder when visible. No signup, no email.

What it checks

  • wp-content, wp-includes and wp-json paths in the page
  • The WordPress generator meta tag and its version
  • The theme folder name, when it is in the page
  • Other CMS and shop platforms, when it is not WordPress

What you get

  • Yes or not detected
  • The exact snippet that proved it
  • Version and theme folder when visible, and WooCommerce if present

Limits

  • One page per run
  • Sites that hide WordPress paths show as not detected
  • Plugins and server-side details are not visible in HTML
How WordPress is detected

WordPress leaves recognisable traces in the HTML it produces: asset files under /wp-content/ and /wp-includes/, a REST API link to /wp-json/, and often a generator meta tag with the version. The tool matches only those WordPress-specific signs, so a hit is reliable.

Frequently asked questions

How can I tell if a website is built with WordPress?

Enter its address above. The tool looks for WordPress paths, such as wp-content and wp-json, and the WordPress generator tag, and shows the snippet it found. By hand, view the page source and search for wp-content.

How do I find a WordPress site's theme?

When the page loads files from /wp-content/themes/, the folder name is the theme's name, and the tool shows it. A child theme or a custom theme will show its own folder name.

Why does it say not detected for a site I know uses WordPress?

Some sites remove the generator tag, rename the wp-content path or serve everything through a CDN. Not detected means the signs are hidden, not that WordPress is absent.
