Free WordPress Site Info Checker: Detect Version, Theme, and Plugins

Ever wondered what theme and plugins a WordPress website is using? Whether you're analyzing competitors, troubleshooting a client's site, or looking for design inspiration — knowing the technology stack behind a WordPress site is invaluable.

The WP Site Info Checker by Jayax.dev detects the WordPress version, active theme, installed plugins, hosting provider, and security configuration of any WordPress website — in seconds and completely free.


What the WP Site Info Checker Detects

1. WordPress Core

Version Detection

  • Identifies the WordPress version running on the site
  • Checks if the version is up-to-date or outdated
  • Flags versions with known security vulnerabilities

Why it matters: Outdated WordPress installations are the #1 cause of WordPress hacks. Each version has specific vulnerabilities that attackers target.

2. Theme Information

Active Theme Detection

  • Theme name and author
  • Theme version
  • Parent/child theme relationship
  • Premium vs. free theme identification
  • Theme framework (Genesis, Divi, Elementor, etc.)

Popular Themes We Detect:

  • Astra, GeneratePress, OceanWP
  • Avada, Enfold, Flatsome
  • Divi, Extra (Elegant Themes)
  • Genesis Framework themes
  • Custom themes

3. Plugin Detection

Installed Plugins

  • Identifies active plugins through various detection methods
  • Shows plugin names and versions where available
  • Estimates total plugin count
  • Flags potentially vulnerable plugins

Common Plugins We Detect:

  • SEO: Yoast SEO, Rank Math, All in One SEO
  • Security: Wordfence, Sucuri, iThemes Security
  • Page Builders: Elementor, Divi Builder, Beaver Builder
  • Caching: WP Rocket, W3 Total Cache, LiteSpeed Cache
  • E-commerce: WooCommerce, Easy Digital Downloads
  • Forms: Contact Form 7, WPForms, Gravity Forms
  • Analytics: Google Site Kit, MonsterInsights

4. Hosting & Server

Hosting Provider

  • Identifies the hosting company
  • Server location (country/city)
  • Server software (Apache, Nginx, LiteSpeed)
  • PHP version (when detectable)

CDN Detection

  • Cloudflare, Fastly, Sucuri, StackPath
  • AWS CloudFront, KeyCDN
  • BunnyCDN, QUIC.cloud

5. Security Configuration

Login Page Check

  • Whether /wp-login.php is accessible
  • Custom login URL detection

Understanding the Results

Detection Confidence Levels

| Level | Meaning | |-------|---------| | 🟢 High | Confirmed through multiple indicators | | 🟡 Medium | Likely based on available evidence | | 🔴 Low | Possible but not confirmed |

Why Some Information May Not Be Detected

Some WordPress sites actively hide their technology stack:

  • Security plugins may remove version numbers and meta tags
  • Custom configurations may block detection methods
  • CDN/WAF may interfere with fingerprinting
  • Server-side rendering may limit client-side detection

This is actually a good security practice — sites that hide their technology stack are harder to target.


FAQ — WP Site Info Checker

Is this tool legal to use?

Yes. The tool only analyzes publicly accessible information — the same data that any web browser can see. It does not attempt to access admin panels, exploit vulnerabilities, or bypass security measures.

How accurate is the plugin detection?

Plugin detection accuracy varies:

  • Popular plugins: 90%+ accuracy
  • Custom/obscure plugins: 50-70% accuracy
  • Plugins with active hiding: Lower accuracy

We use multiple detection methods to maximize accuracy.

Can I check non-WordPress sites?

The tool is specifically designed for WordPress. If you enter a non-WordPress URL, it will report that the site doesn't appear to be running WordPress.

How do I hide my own WordPress site from detection?

To reduce detectability:

  1. Remove WordPress meta tags (remove_action('wp_head', 'wp_generator'))
  2. Hide theme and plugin directories
  3. Use a security plugin that removes identifying information
  4. Block access to readme.html and license.txt
  5. Remove RSS feed version information

Can I check multiple sites at once?

Currently, the tool checks one site at a time. For bulk checking, you can run multiple scans sequentially.
