A WordPress plugin that adds anything to the front of a site, such as a form, a slider, a cookie banner or a page builder's layout, serves its files from /wp-content/plugins/<folder>/. We list every plugin folder the homepage loads from, so we find plugins nobody has written a detection rule for. Each folder is named from the WordPress.org plugin directory, and the ?ver= on its files usually gives the installed version.
On top of that we run rules for well over 100 popular plugins. They catch plugins that leave other traces, like an SEO plugin's comment in the page head, and link each one to its page here. A plugin found by its folder is certain; one found only by a rule is marked as matched by a rule.
Limits: a plugin that only works in the WordPress admin, like a backup, security or redirect plugin, leaves nothing in the page, so no outside tool can see it. Caching and optimisation plugins often merge every plugin's files into one bundle, which hides their folders. A plugin that only loads on some pages, like a shop's checkout, may not show on the homepage.
Paste the site's address into the box above. We list the plugin folders its homepage loads files from, name each one from the WordPress.org directory, and add the plugins our rules recognise.
Most plugins only work in the admin and never touch the page a visitor sees. Others only load on certain pages, or have their files merged into one bundle by a caching plugin. Nothing outside the site can see those.
The plugin's folder name isn't a plugin listed on WordPress.org. It's usually a premium plugin sold elsewhere, or one written for that site, so all we can show is its folder.
Usually. Plugins add their version to their files' URLs so browsers fetch new files after an update. A few don't, and we leave the version out when it's only WordPress's own version number.
Yes. There's no sign-up and no limit on lookups.
