Website Tech Stack Detector - CMS, Ecommerce & Martech

Find out what technologies any website runs - CMS, ecommerce platform, analytics, marketing, chat, payments, JavaScript frameworks, and CDN - with ready-made lead-qualifier tags.

Website Tech Stack Detector takes a list of domains and returns each site's technology profile as clean JSON/CSV rows. Built for B2B sales, agencies, competitive-intelligence, and recruiters who want to qualify and segment companies by the tools their websites use - not screenshots or guesswork.

✅ What you get / ❌ what this isn't

This Actor gives you	This Actor is not
One row per site with detected technologies grouped by category	Not a full historical technology archive
Single-value fields for ecommerce platform, CMS, framework, and CDN	Not a vulnerability scanner
Lead-qualifier tags (is_ecommerce, has_live_chat, takes_payments, and more)	Not affiliated with Wappalyzer or BuiltWith
Confidence-scored, precise detection that avoids naive false positives	Not a guarantee of every tool a site uses internally
Graceful handling of bot-protected sites (status + partial detection)	Not a private-data scraper

⚠️ Limits and caveats

• This Actor reads a site's public homepage and response metadata. It detects technologies that leave public fingerprints; server-side or internal tools may not be visible.
• Some sites use bot protection and may return a 401/403/429/503. The Actor records the status and any technologies detectable from headers instead of failing.
• Detection is intentionally precise to avoid false positives, so a tool that is present but not referenced on the homepage may not appear.
• Technology fingerprints drift over time; the signature set is maintained, but occasional gaps are expected.

❓ FAQ

How is this different from a Wappalyzer clone?

It uses precise, confidence-scored signatures to avoid the false positives naive detectors produce (for example matching a brand word that only appears in an "integrations" mention), and it adds lead-qualifier tags and convenience fields for sales workflows.

Can it process many domains at once?

Yes. Add up to 200 domains per run. Each analyzed website is one result.

Does it use a browser?

No. It fetches the homepage over HTTP and inspects the HTML, headers, and cookies, which keeps runs fast and cheap.

Why is a technology I expected missing?

The Actor only reports technologies with a clear public fingerprint on the page it fetched. Tools loaded later, behind login, or only on inner pages may not appear.
