WordPress Theme Detector

What is the WordPress Theme Detector Tool?

The WordPress Theme Detector is a powerful, free online utility designed to analyze any website and identify if it runs on the WordPress content management system (CMS) and, most importantly, which specific theme it uses. In seconds, this tool scans the public source code of a given URL, searching for the tell-tale structural footprints left by WordPress themes and plugins. Whether you are a developer looking for inspiration, a designer researching competitors, or a business owner curious about a site's foundation, this tool provides the answers you need.

How it Works (Client-Side Versatility)

Unlike many detectors that rely on a private server, this tool operates directly in your browser, making it incredibly fast and privacy-focused. Its core strength lies in its ability to parse the raw HTML structure.

1. Footprint Analysis: WordPress websites use a predictable directory structure, particularly for assets (CSS, JS). The detector searches for links containing the unique path: /wp-content/themes/[theme-slug]/. The folder name right after themes/ is the unique theme slug.
2. Plugin Identification: It also meticulously scans for script and link tags that point to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory, allowing it to list all recognizable active plugins.
3. CORS-Aware Design: Recognizing the limitations of client-side technology (browser security prevents direct cross-domain fetching), the tool provides a unique fallback. If the direct URL scan fails, it prompts the user to paste the raw HTML source code, ensuring the tool remains 100% functional and versatile under all security restrictions.
