Ask HN: A way to search for how a website was created

4 pointsby chagaifover 2 years ago
I often find myself wondering what or if a framework was used to create a specific website and it would be pretty neat to be able to just put a url into a search field and see that. I end up trying to figure it out from the source but that&#x27;s difficult unless it&#x27;s like WordPress or WIX...<p>I even use view-source: from the phone quite a lot...<p>If there&#x27;s no website maybe you could drop some tips about unique things specific frameworks use?

There are several sites, that do that:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;builtwith.com&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;builtwith.com&#x2F;</a><p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;sitereport.netcraft.com&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;sitereport.netcraft.com&#x2F;</a><p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.wappalyzer.com&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.wappalyzer.com&#x2F;</a><p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;w3techs.com&#x2F;sites" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;w3techs.com&#x2F;sites</a><p>Of course, there are issues, some are freemium, not everything can be detected, but it is a good starting point.
