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

Reading the HTML code?

Some CMS "sign" the code of the websites developed with their technologies.
