Every webdeveloper has probably at some point wondered which technologies a particular site is using. Sure, you could browse the source of a page to find any hints on for instance what cms is being used. Or you could inspect the response headers to see what version of php is used.
Instead of hunting down those clues yourself, you could use the Wappalyzer plugin. Once installed it shows an extra icon in your browser. It indicates what sort of framework or cms is used. Clicking on the icon reveals even more info such as which JavaScript libraries are embedded on the site. It's a great tool.
You can follow me on these platforms:
On all these platforms, regularly share programming tips, and what I myself have learned in ongoing projects.
Every month I send out a newsletter containing lots of interesting stuff for the modern PHP developer.
Expect quick tips & tricks, interesting tutorials, opinions and packages. Because I work with Laravel every day there is an emphasis on that framework.
Rest assured that I will only use your email address to send you the newsletter and will not use it for any other purposes.
