Ask HN: A way to search for how a website was created
4 points by chagaif on Dec 30, 2022 | hide | past | favorite | 3 comments
I often find myself wondering what or if a framework was used to create a specific website and it would be pretty neat to be able to just put a url into a search field and see that. I end up trying to figure it out from the source but that's difficult unless it's like WordPress or WIX...

I even use view-source: from the phone quite a lot...

If there's no website maybe you could drop some tips about unique things specific frameworks use?



There are several sites, that do that:

https://builtwith.com/

https://sitereport.netcraft.com/

https://www.wappalyzer.com/

https://w3techs.com/sites

Of course, there are issues, some are freemium, not everything can be detected, but it is a good starting point.
