What WordPress theme is that?
Paste a WordPress site. You get the theme, its version and author, every plugin we can see, and which ones are out of date.
- Loading the homepage
- Reading the theme files
- Looking up plugins on WordPress.org
How the WordPress theme detector works
Every WordPress theme lives in a folder called /wp-content/themes/, and every plugin in /wp-content/plugins/. When a page loads, it asks for style sheets and scripts from those folders, so their names appear in the page code. We read those names, open the theme's style.css file (which holds its real name, version and author) and look everything up on WordPress.org.
Free, premium or custom?
If a theme or plugin is listed on WordPress.org, it is free and we can tell you the latest version. If not, it was bought from a marketplace such as ThemeForest or built for the site. Big multipurpose themes like Divi and Avada are popular, but they load a lot of code on every page, which is often why a site feels slow on a phone.
Why plugin count matters
Each plugin that loads on a page adds files the browser has to download. Ten is normal. Twenty or more on the homepage usually means a slow site, and a bigger list of things to keep updated. When we speed up WordPress sites, removing or replacing plugins nobody needs is usually the biggest win.
Questions
How do I find out what WordPress theme a site uses?
Paste the address above. Or open the page source (Ctrl+U), search for /wp-content/themes/ and read the folder name after it. The theme's style.css file then gives its full name, version and author.
Why does it show two themes?
The site uses a child theme. The child theme holds the site's own changes, and the parent theme (shown as "built on") does the heavy lifting. If you want the same look, you need the parent.
Can it see every plugin?
It sees plugins that load files on the homepage, which is most of the ones that matter for speed and looks. Plugins that only work in the admin area, such as backups or security scanners, do not show up.
What does "out of date" mean?
We compare the version the site uses with the latest version on WordPress.org. An old version is not always a problem, but outdated plugins and themes are the most common way WordPress sites get hacked.
