Website Tech Stack Lookup - Technology Detector

Detect the technology stack of any list of domains: CMS, ecommerce, analytics, CDN, frameworks with versions, plus mail provider, SPF and DMARC.

Website Tech Stack Lookup tells you which technologies a list of websites runs on: CMS, ecommerce platform, analytics, tag manager, CDN, hosting, web server, JavaScript framework, marketing and chat tools, payment providers and hundreds more, with the version when the site exposes it, a confidence score and the evidence behind every detection. It also reads the public DNS of each domain to report the mail provider (MX), the SPF record with the email services it authorises, the DMARC policy and the DNS provider. Paste domains or URLs, run, and export JSON, CSV or Excel, or call it from the Apify API, n8n, Make or an AI agent through MCP.

Why use a website technology detector?

• Lead generation and list building – keep only the Shopify, WooCommerce, Magento or HubSpot sites from a list of thousands (Only sites using any of these technologies) and get the mail provider for outreach planning.
• Sales qualification – see whether a prospect uses a competitor, which analytics and marketing automation it pays for, and whether its email is on Google Workspace or Microsoft 365.
• Competitor and market research – measure how often a platform, framework or CDN appears across a market segment.
• Email deliverability audits – check SPF and DMARC for a whole portfolio of domains in one run.
• Agency and M&A due diligence – get the server, hosting, CMS version and plugin footprint of a site before a pitch or a deal.

What is detected and how?

The Actor loads the home page (or the URL you give) over plain HTTP and matches 847 technology fingerprints written for this Actor against the response headers, cookie names, meta tags, script URLs and page HTML. DNS adds MX, SPF, DMARC, NS, CNAME, A and PTR signals: mail providers and security gateways, sending services authorised in SPF, DNS hosts, hosting and CDN networks, and services the domain was verified with. Versions come from generator tags, headers such as Server and X-Powered-By, and versioned CDN paths. Technologies implied by another one (PHP by WordPress, React by Next.js) are marked "implied by" and carry a lower confidence.

Output fields

Every result is one flat record, so it drops straight into a spreadsheet, a database or a CRM.
