Website Technology Detector: CMS, Shopify, Analytics & More

Find out what any website is built with. Paste a list of URLs or domains and get one clean row per site with its CMS, e-commerce platform, analytics, tag managers, ad pixels, chat widgets, payment providers, CDN, hosting, web server, JavaScript frameworks, A/B testing and email marketing tools, chosen from 7,600+ technology fingerprints.

It fetches each homepage once, like a normal visitor, and matches the HTML, script URLs, meta tags, HTTP headers and cookies against an open Wappalyzer-style fingerprint set. There's no browser, no proxies and no login, so it is fast and cheap on big lists: a good Wappalyzer or BuiltWith alternative for bulk checks.

What you get

• Full technology list: every detected technology with its categories, version (when the site exposes it) and a confidence score.
• Flat, spreadsheet-ready columns: cms, ecommerce, analytics, tagManagers, advertising, marketingAutomation, liveChat, crm, payments, abTesting, cdn, hosting, webServers, jsFrameworks, webFrameworks, programmingLanguages, cookieConsent.
• Yes/no flags for quick filters: hasShopify, hasWordPress, hasWooCommerce, hasGoogleAnalytics, hasGoogleTagManager, hasFacebookPixel, hasHubSpot, hasKlaviyo, hasStripe, hasHotjar, hasIntercom, hasCloudflare.
• Page basics: final URL after redirects, HTTP status code, page title and domain.
• An error column instead of a crash when a site is down, times out or shows a bot-protection page.

What people use it for

• Lead generation and sales prospecting: find every Shopify or WooCommerce store in a list, or every company still on an old CMS, and pitch the right product.
• Lead enrichment: add CMS, e-commerce platform and marketing stack to your CRM or prospect list before outreach.
• Agencies: audit a client's or competitor's stack (analytics, tag manager, pixels, chat, A/B testing) in seconds.
• Market research: measure the market share of platforms, payment providers or analytics tools across thousands of sites.
• SaaS competitive intel: see which sites use your competitor's widget or script.

A SUMMARY record in the run's key-value store shows how many sites were checked and how many had errors.

Pricing

Pay per result: $0.05 per website checked (half the price of the most-used Wappalyzer replacement) (plus a tiny per-run start fee). Rows for sites that fail to load are still saved so you can see why; set Max results to cap your spend.

FAQ

How accurate is it? It uses the same open fingerprint rules as the Wappalyzer browser extension for everything visible in the page source, headers and cookies. Technologies that only show up after JavaScript runs in a real browser (some tag-manager-loaded pixels, some single-page-app frameworks) can be missed. Versions are reported only when the site exposes them.

Which page is checked? The URL you give, after redirects. For a bare domain that's the homepage. You can pass a deeper URL (a product or blog page) if the homepage is minimal.

Why does a site show an error or only a few technologies? Some sites block automated visitors with a bot-protection page (Cloudflare, Akamai, DataDome), and Shopify rate-limits requests from cloud servers. Every site is fetched directly. Rate-limited sites are retried politely after the wait they ask for. If a site is still blocked, the row is saved with an error note and the technologies that were visible. A rate-limited Shopify store is still reported as Shopify.

Does it check DNS or email providers? Not yet. It looks at what the website itself serves.

Where do the fingerprints come from? From the open webappanalyzer data set (the community-maintained fork of Wappalyzer's rules), as bundled in the npm package simple-wappalyzer version 1.1.106 (September 2026). simple-wappalyzer's code is MIT-licensed (© Kiko Beats); the fingerprint data itself is published by the webappanalyzer project under the GPL-3.0 licence. A handful of extra rules for modern frameworks (Next.js, Nuxt, Gatsby, Remix, Astro, SvelteKit, Angular, Vue) were added on top.

Use it with n8n, Make or Zapier

Run the actor from the Apify integration in n8n, Make or Zapier: send in a list of domains from Google Sheets, your CRM or a webhook, and write the CMS, e-commerce platform and flags back to each record. Schedule it monthly to catch sites that switch platforms.
