WhatRuns

Discover what runs a website. Frameworks, Analytics Tools, Wordpress Plugins, Fonts - you name it.

WhatRuns is a powerful Chrome extension that lets you discover the technologies behind any website effortlessly. Instantly identify frameworks, analytics tools, WordPress plugins and themes, web technologies, fonts, and even emerging services used on sites you visit. WhatRuns employs a smart algorithm that detects signature patterns to provide accurate insights into the tech stack of each website.

Beyond just identification, WhatRuns lets you follow websites to receive updates whenever they adopt new technologies or remove existing ones. Compared to tools like Wappalyzer or BuiltWith, WhatRuns is lighter on your browser, offers superior detection accuracy, and uniquely reveals fonts and WordPress plugins & themes, making it an essential tool for developers, marketers, and tech enthusiasts.
