Meta generator tag

<meta name="generator" content="WordPress X.X">

wp-login.php

Default WordPress login page at /wp-login.php.

WordPress REST API headers

Frequently Asked Questions

How accurate is the WordPress detection?

Very accurate. WordPress has multiple unique fingerprints including /wp-json, /wp-content/, and meta generator tags. Our engine checks all of them and returns a weighted confidence score.

Can a WordPress site hide its identity?

Some sites remove the generator meta tag or rename wp-content, but the REST API and other signals are harder to fully conceal. Our detector checks all available signals.

Does the tool detect WordPress version?

When the meta generator tag is present, we extract the WordPress version. Many hardened sites remove this for security.

What's the difference between WordPress.com and WordPress.org?

WordPress.com is a hosted service. WordPress.org is self-hosted open-source software. Both use the same core and are detected by the same signals.

Is this tool free?

Yes, fully free. No account or credit card needed.
