What's your website built on?

Every builder leaves fingerprints in a site's public code: the servers its images and scripts load from, tags it adds to every page, and notes in the server's response. The tool reads the homepage, the same code any browser sees, and matches those clues. It shows you which clues it found, so you can see how it knows.

It decides who controls your speed, your SEO settings and your security, what you pay every month, who can make changes, and whether you can take the site with you if you leave. Two sites can look the same and work completely differently underneath.

No. It runs about 4 in 10 websites, you own it, and it can be excellent. The catch is upkeep: WordPress, PHP, the theme and every plugin need regular updates, and heavy page builders can slow it down. A well-cared-for WordPress site beats a neglected anything.

For designers, often yes: more design freedom and cleaner code. For an owner who wants to make edits themselves, Wix and Squarespace are easier. All three host your site on their own platform, so you pay a plan to keep it online. Webflow can export page code on its Workspace plans, but not your blog or CMS content.

Usually by rebuilding it. Most hosted builders don't let the site itself leave their servers, though your words, photos and domain are yours to bring. When we rebuild a site, we redirect every old page address so your Google rankings carry over.

Next.js, the framework made by Vercel, hosted on Vercel's global network. Every page is built ahead of time, the code lives in GitHub with a history of every change, and each change gets a private preview and a person's approval before it goes live. You own your content and your domain.

Some sites block tools like this one, and some are custom-built or hide their builder well. Pick your builder from the list instead. If you don't know it, whoever built or hosts your site can tell you, or we can look with you on a call.
