"Wappalyzer is a browser extension that uncovers the technologies used on websites. It detects content management systems, eCommerce platforms, web servers, JavaScript frameworks, analytics tools and many more." --> Basically, it's a LOT of fun for everyone.
Interesting data business - this probably forms the basis of a lot of the mail lists technology service companies use to do outbound marketing.
Cool product though!
I've been using it for few months now, nice thing is that you can request via github to add new software, for instance they have added @openclassifiedshttps://wappalyzer.com/applicati... but seems theres not that many people using it yet. I account for more than 4000k live sites and here theres few many of them my own test sites...
@fighto Having the extension is quite handy though... unless builtwith has one too? Honestly, I would never go to a site and start poking around what sites are made of. But with the extension it's just there in my browser, and I can't help looking. :D
Sure there are plenty of similar platforms, and I'll consider looking at the plugin as it does look great in the screenshots but more loved their website data where I was able to drill into particular platforms and discover who are the top users and what is the adoption graph looking like such as for reCAPTCHA https://wappalyzer.com/applicati... their data is presented far better than other platforms.
I was first thinking: "cool, a quicker way than looking at html or js console".
Then I saw you can actually click names in the list and see top sites using this tech, graphs of usage over time and other data. Wow.
Been using this for awhile now, and absolutely love it. I've learned a TON just by passively clicking the icon when a website's front-end gets me curious about the full stack.
Do you look for lead generation? Wappalyzer is your go-to choice. I have used it as a Growth Marketer and I have seen great results in my Outreach campaigns. The best part? The awesome customer service you get for any of your request.
