About WP Detector

WP Detector is a fast, lightweight, and comprehensive WordPress stack inspection and diagnostics tool designed for developers, site auditors, designers, and curious web enthusiasts. With a single click, instantly uncover the entire technology stack powering any WordPress website—including core version, active theme, detected plugins, hosting infrastructure, server software, caching headers, and DNS details. Whether you're debugging client websites, conducting competitive research, or auditing performance and security, WP Detector provides a clear, clean, and developer-friendly breakdown in seconds. --- ### 🚀 Key Features 🔍 **WordPress Core & Theme Detection** • Accurately detects whether a site is built with WordPress. • Displays the exact WordPress core version. • Identifies the active theme name and version, with direct links to the official WordPress theme directory. 🧩 **Deep Plugin Discovery (Frontend Assets + REST API)** • Scans both loaded scripts and stylesheets to identify active plugins and version numbers. • Probes WordPress REST API namespaces (/wp-json) to uncover background plugins that don't load visible frontend assets. • Live Search & Filter: Instantly search through large plugin lists with the built-in search bar. • Direct links to official WordPress.org plugin directory pages for instant documentation lookup. ⚡ **Server, Hosting & CDN Intelligence** • Detects the underlying web server software (Nginx, Apache, LiteSpeed, etc.). • Identifies whether the site is protected behind a reverse proxy or CDN (such as Cloudflare, Sucuri, WP Engine, Kinsta, or Pantheon). • Detects PHP version when exposed in server response headers. 🚀 **Real-Time Cache Status Inspection** • Inspects HTTP response headers to identify active caching engines (Cloudflare, LiteSpeed, Varnish, WP Engine, Kinsta, etc.). • Displays real-time cache behavior: HIT, MISS, BYPASS, or DYNAMIC. 🌐 **DNS & Host Resolution** • Resolves the domain's public Host IP address (IPv4 A-record). • Displays the authoritative Nameservers (NS records) for the apex domain. 📋 **Developer-Friendly Export & Sharing Tools** • One-Click Copy: Copies a clean, markdown-ready stack summary to your clipboard. • Download TXT: Save a formatted text report directly to your computer. • Export JSON: Download structured diagnostic JSON data ready to attach to bug tickets, client audits, or support reports. • Quick Refresh: Re-run diagnostics on the current page with a single click without closing the popup. 🎨 **Modern, WordPress Admin-Inspired Interface** • Intuitive card and accordion layout styled after familiar WordPress admin conventions. • Full Dark Mode support that automatically matches your operating system theme. • All information sections expanded by default for rapid scanning. --- ### 🔒 100% Privacy Focused & Safe • WP Detector processes all webpage inspection locally inside your browser. • No browsing history tracking, no telemetry, and no third-party analytics. • No account or sign-in required. --- ### 💡 How to Use 1. Navigate to any website. 2. Click the WP Detector icon in your Chrome toolbar. 3. Instantly view the complete WordPress stack and export or copy the details as needed!
