What is this website built with?
Find the framework, hosting, CMS, payments, analytics and AI app builder behind any website — with the evidence for each one, and the indie products that share its stack.
How it works
One honest request
The page is requested directly, the way a browser does — never through a proxy, which would answer with its own headers and hide most of the evidence.
Evidence, not guesses
Response headers, cookies, script sources, the generator tag, structural markers and the domain’s DNS. A brand merely named in the page is shown apart, as unconfirmed.
What it implies
A page only shows its outer layer. Next.js means React, Laravel means PHP: what a finding cannot run without is added and marked “implied”.

Questions people ask
How do I find out what a website is built with?
Paste its address above. The checker reads what the site gives away to any visitor: response headers such as x-powered-by or x-vercel-id, the cookies it sets, where its scripts load from, the generator tag, framework fingerprints in the HTML (/_next/static/, /wp-content/), and its DNS records.
By hand, the same evidence is in your browser’s developer tools: the Network tab shows the headers, and “View source” shows the scripts and markup.
Can you tell if a website was built with AI, like Lovable, Bolt or v0?
Sometimes. A site still served from a builder’s own address (something.lovable.app, something.replit.app) or still loading the builder’s scripts is called out at the top of the result. A project that was exported and deployed elsewhere usually looks like any other React or Next.js site — so “no sign of an AI builder” is not proof that none was used.
Why are some technologies missing?
Anything that never reaches the browser leaves no trace in a page: the database, most backend languages, the CI pipeline, the AI model behind an API. Some of these are filled in when something found cannot run without them (WordPress implies PHP). Sites that build the whole page in JavaScript after it loads, or that sit behind bot protection, also show less.
What does “mentioned, not confirmed” mean?
The brand appears somewhere in the page — a “Powered by” link, a logo strip of customers, a blog post — but nothing technical confirms the site runs on it. Those are listed apart so they never pass for a finding.
How is this different from BuiltWith or Wappalyzer?
It is free, needs no extension or account, and shows the evidence for every finding. It also compares the stack with the indie products launched on Awesome Indie’s built-with pages: how many use each technology, and which ones share the most of this stack. It does not keep a history of sites or sell lead lists.
Is it legal to check another website’s tech stack?
Yes. The checker makes one ordinary request for the page, exactly like a visitor’s browser, and reads only what the site sends to everyone. Nothing is logged in, probed or scanned.
