If you are reading this article, you have probably already asked yourself this question: what technology was used to create their website?
WordPress, Wix, Webflow, Drupal... Shopify? There are plenty of options! So, how can you find out the CMS used on a website in just 1 click?
How to discover the CMS used by a website?
To find out which CMS is being used, you have two options available to you:
(1) Use a plugin
(2) Read the HTML code

Wappalyzer is a handy little Chrome extension. It's a real CMS detector! Wappalyzer allows you to find out what technology the website in question is using (along with various integrations as a bonus).

Reading the HTML code?
Oh no, code. Don't be afraid, the HTML language is quite simple (plus, learning HTML will help you become better at no-code development in general)
Some CMS "sign" the code of the websites developed with their technologies.
