Wappalyzer: The no-code app for identifying website technologies

You've discovered a website you like, and you want to know the technologies used to achieve that result ? 

Is it a WordPress site? A Webflow site? A Shopify site? A custom-coded site? 

‍

Wappalyzer is a browser extension tool that lists all the technologies used on a website. With a single click, you'll have all the information you're looking for! 

‍

I. Why Use Wappalyzer? 

‍

A. Technology Watch 

‍

Using Wappalyzer can serve various purposes: 

• Knowing a site's "tech stack"—i.e., the tools used to develop it— can be useful for technology watch.
   

• Observing the technologies used by the most modern and user-appreciated websites can also reveal a trend regarding the best available tools. This way, you can ensure you are up-to-date and working with modern and popular technologies. 

‍

B. Prospecting Tool 

‍

For IT service providers, knowing a website's technology can be useful. For example, for a Webflow agency, knowing that a site is developed with WordPress allows them toidentify a potential prospect who might want to migrate to a more modern technology. 

‍

II. How to use Wappalyzer? 

‍

A. Using Wappalyzer on a website 

‍

Wappalyzer has a URL explorer. Copying and pasting the link of the site you wish to analyze allows you to get the analysis directly on the tool's website. 

‍

The complete list of technologies used, as well as the ability to explore the description page of each of these tools, are then at your disposal. 

‍

‍

B. Browser Extension 

‍

Even more conveniently, Wappalyzer offers an extension available for Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and Safari.  

‍

Once you're on the website you want to analyze, a simple click on the extension icon opens a panel displaying all the technologies used. 

‍

The advantage of this method is that it doesn't require you to interact with any links. It's therefore faster and more efficient. 

You can add the extension to your browser using this download link. 

‍

III. Conclusion

‍

Wappalyzer is a fast and intuitive no-code technology identification tool.

‍

With it, you can quickly find out which CMS a website uses and what different libraries it employs in just a few seconds. 

The extension is completely free and has no usage limits.

The tool also offers subscriptions that provide more extensive features, such as exporting all technologies used by websites from a list of URL links.
