WordPress Theme Detector
Enter any website address and this free WordPress theme detector tells you whether the site runs on WordPress, which theme it uses (with the parent theme, author, and version), and the plugins visible in its code — in a few seconds, straight from the site's public HTML.
💡 We only read what the site publishes to every visitor: its HTML and the theme's style.css header. Sites that rename wp-content or hide it with a security plugin may show as "not detected" even though they use WordPress — we never guess to fill the gap.
How the WordPress theme detector works
Three steps, no account, no browser extension.
Paste the URL
Any public website — a competitor, a site you admire, or your own.
We read the public code
Our server fetches the page and the theme's stylesheet header, exactly as a browser would.
See theme & plugins
Theme name, author, version, parent theme, WordPress version, and every plugin we can see.
What the theme detector actually looks at
Every WordPress site loads its theme from a folder like /wp-content/themes/theme-name/, and that path appears in the page's HTML wherever the theme's CSS, JavaScript, or images are loaded. The WP theme detector finds the most-used theme folder in the page, then opens that theme's style.css — the file every WordPress theme must have — and reads the header WordPress itself uses: Theme Name, Author, Version, Theme URI, and Template (which tells us it is a child theme and names the parent).
Plugins work the same way: anything loading from /wp-content/plugins/plugin-name/ gets listed. This is a WordPress plugin detector too, with one honest limit — only plugins that add something to the front-end page are visible. Admin-only plugins (backup, security scanners, SEO settings that don't print markup) leave no trace in the HTML, so a short list doesn't mean a site has few plugins.
Found a theme you like? Here's what to do next
Most people use a theme detector because they saw a site and thought "I want mine to look like that". Good news: a theme is just the starting point. The look you admired usually comes from how the theme was set up — layout, colours, typography, page builder sections — and that is exactly what our WordPress theme customization service does for your brand. If you want to try it yourself first, read how to customize a WordPress theme and how to install WordPress.
Starting from scratch? Our website development services and small business website design build on well-supported themes, and a plugin the detector found but you can't find a match for can often be replaced with custom plugin development. Already on WordPress and something's broken? That's WordPress support. And before you copy a competitor's stack, run their site through our website speed test — a beautiful theme that loads in six seconds is not a theme worth copying.
WordPress theme detector — FAQs
How accurate is the WordPress theme detector?
Very, when the site uses standard WordPress paths — the theme name comes straight from the theme's own style.css header, not a guess. It cannot see through sites that rename or hide wp-content, and it can't tell you about admin-only plugins. In those cases it says "not detected" rather than inventing an answer.
It says "not WordPress" but I'm sure the site is. Why?
Some security or optimisation plugins rewrite the /wp-content/ paths to hide them, and some sites serve pages through a cache/CDN that strips the generator tag. The site may well be WordPress — we just can't prove it from the public HTML.
Can it tell me which page builder a site uses?
Usually yes — Elementor, Divi, WPBakery, Beaver Builder and similar load their own plugin or theme folders, so they appear in the plugin or theme result.
Is it okay to check someone else's website?
Yes. Everything shown is public information that any visitor's browser already downloads; we simply read it and present it clearly. No login, no private data, no hacking involved.
Can you build my site with the theme I found?
Yes — if the theme is free or you buy the licence, we set it up and customise it through our theme customization and development services. We'll also tell you honestly if a lighter theme would serve you better.
