What it looks for

It checks the homepage's HTML, script tags and response headers for platform-specific signatures, the kind of thing that's stable and public across almost every store on that platform: Shopify's cdn.shopify.com assets and Shopify.shop object, WordPress's /wp-content/ path and WooCommerce's markup classes, BigCommerce's Stencil theme framework, Magento's static asset paths, and so on.

When none of the common signatures match but the page's HTML is mostly a near-empty JavaScript shell, it's flagged as a likely headless or custom build (a Shopify Hydrogen storefront, a custom Next.js frontend on a commerce API, or similar), since those don't leave the same static fingerprints.

Questions people ask

Can this detect a headless Shopify (Hydrogen) storefront?

Sometimes. A headless build doesn't expose the usual Shopify signatures in its HTML, so it often shows up as "likely headless" rather than "Shopify" specifically.

Why does it say "unknown" for a site I know is on WooCommerce?

Some WooCommerce sites hide or minify the standard markers this checks for, especially with aggressive caching or a heavily customized theme. Treat "unknown" as inconclusive, not as proof it isn't WooCommerce.

Does this work on a single product or collection page, or only the homepage?

Any public page works; the homepage is usually the most reliable since it's the least likely to have caching or template quirks that hide the signatures.

Is this reading anything private?

No, only what's already sent to every visitor's browser.
