WhatWeb

Web scanner that identifies website technologies

About WhatWeb

WhatWeb is a scanner that identifies technologies used by websites, including CMSs, frameworks, analytics, and server software. Self-hosting it on a small server, NAS, or VPS keeps the service available on your terms and makes backups and migrations straightforward. Users who outgrow a hosted free tier often choose it to remove limits while keeping the same familiar workflow they already know.
