Wappalyzer - Chrome Extension Analyzes Website Tools

Wappalyzer - Home



As a web designer and developer, this is such a cool tool... A free browser add-in for either Firefox or Chrome, Wappalyzer will analyze the website you are viewing, and tell you pretty quickly what content management system, javascript library and other tools that site is using. The tool can detect literally dozens of tools used to build today's websites. 

For example, the screen capture above shows that the website http://connect.bushtec.com is built on WordPress, using jQuery, SWFObject and has Google Analytics installed.

The pop-up windows shown above doesn't show unless you click the Wappalyzer icon in your Chrome toolbar.

Here's an article about the Wappalyzer Firefox add-in.
