Website Tech Stack Detector — CMS & Ecommerce

🔎 Find the CMS behind each website

CMS Detector helps sales teams, agencies, and developers check a list of website domains. It returns the CMS, related public technologies, confidence scores, versions, ecommerce signals, and page details in a clean dataset.

• Check an Ecommerce Platform Detector list to find sites that show ecommerce tools.
• Use the Website Analyzer to collect public page and HTTP details.
• Run the Technology Detector to find public tools by category.
• Use the Website Technology Detector to check frameworks, analytics, hosting, and more.
• Run the CMS Detector to find the CMS and any public version details.

📦 What data does it return?

Each saved row describes one website that was analyzed. You get the final URL, HTTP status, page title and description, exposed server and generator details, CMS data, related technologies, and an ecommerce flag.

The Actor checks public landing-page fingerprints. It does not render steps that need user actions, crawl the whole site, or see private server tools.

🚀 How do I run the Actor?

1. Add one website domain per line. Do not add a page path.
2. Click Start.
3. Open the default dataset to view or export the saved rows.

A blocked or failed website does not stop the other websites. Only successful analyses are saved.

❓ FAQ

Can it detect a Shopify or WordPress theme?

No. It can detect public CMS and ecommerce fingerprints, but it does not name a site's theme.

Why is the CMS null?

The landing page may not show a known CMS fingerprint. A null value means no CMS was identified; it is not a CMS match.

What happens when a website blocks the request?

That website is not saved as a successful analysis. Other submitted websites can still finish.

Does it scan every page on a website?

No. It checks the public landing page and its response details.

Can it find private or server-side tools?

Only when a website exposes a public fingerprint. It cannot see private tools that leave no public sign.
