WordPress theme and plugin detector.

How theme and plugin detection works

WordPress loads theme files from /wp-content/themes/theme-name/ and plugin files from /wp-content/plugins/plugin-name/. Those paths appear in the page source, so the folder names reveal what's installed. Every theme also has a style.css file whose header lists the theme's name, author, version and, for child themes, the parent theme.

Why some things can't be detected

• Plugins that work only in the admin area, or only on other pages, don't appear on the home page.
• Caching and optimisation plugins often combine files, hiding their original paths.
• Custom themes have made-up names and won't be found in any theme store.
• Some sites hide WordPress paths on purpose, or use WordPress only as a back end.

A theme won't make a site look like that on its own

The site you're looking at is usually a theme plus custom design work, content, photography and a page builder. Buying the same theme rarely produces the same result. Heavy multipurpose themes with dozens of plugins also tend to be slow, which hurts both rankings and conversions.

If you want a site that looks this good and loads fast, a lean custom build is usually the better route. That's what our WordPress development service does, and our speed optimisation work fixes slow WordPress sites you already have.

Checking your own site

Run it on your own website too. If it shows the WordPress version in the page, or a long list of plugins, that's worth a look: each plugin adds weight and something else to keep updated. Our website security checker shows other information your site gives away.
