Check Web Site Technology
Sometimes you are wondering what technology some web sites uses. Take a look at BuiltWith.com, a web site profiler tool. You can enter any web page address and BuiltWith will return all the technologies it can find on a page.
BuiltWith technology tracking includes widgets (snap preview), analytics (Google, Nielsen), frameworks (.NET, Java), publishing (WordPress, Blogger), advertising (DoubleClick, AdSense), CDNs (Amazon S3, Limelight), standards (XHTML,RSS), hosting software (Apache, IIS, CentOS, Debian).
I am quite impressed with the result returned by BuiltWith. From some web sites I checked, BuiltWith can detect the following technologies without fail.
- Analytics and Tracking: HitTail, Site Meter, ClickTale, MyBlogLog
- Javascript Libraries: Prototype
- Advertising: Google Adsense, Kontera
- Payment Services: Paypal
- PHP framework: CakePHP framework
- Ruby: Ruby on Rails, Mongrel
