WordPress Theme & Plugin Detector
See what WordPress theme a site uses - its name, version, author and parent theme - plus the plugins the page loads, from Yoast and WooCommerce to Elementor. Free, no account needed.
How WordPress theme detection works
Every WordPress theme and plugin lives in its own folder, and the files it loads keep that folder in their address: /wp-content/themes/astra/ or /wp-content/plugins/woocommerce/. The detector reads the page's HTML, collects those folders, then opens the theme's style.css, whose header names the theme, its version, its author and - for a child theme - the parent it's built on.
Popular plugins that announce themselves in the page, such as Yoast SEO, Rank Math, WooCommerce and Elementor, are recognised too. What no outside tool can see is a plugin that never loads anything on the public page: most security, backup and admin tools work only inside wp-admin. Results show what this page reveals, nothing invented.
Running WordPress yourself? Themes and plugins update constantly, and an update that breaks a layout or a checkout button still returns 200 OK, so uptime monitors stay green. The free MyKavo WordPress plugin checks your key pages after every update and names the update behind any change.
Plugin updates break pages quietly. Find out which one did it.
MyKavo checks your WordPress site's key pages after every plugin, theme and core update, and shows you exactly what changed, with screenshots, before customers notice.

Frequently asked questions
How do I find out what WordPress theme a site is using?
Enter the site's URL. The detector finds the theme folders the page loads files from and reads the theme's style.css header, which names the theme, its version, its author and, for a child theme, the parent theme it's built on.
Can it see every plugin a WordPress site uses?
No tool working from outside the site can. It finds plugins that load files on the page you checked, plus well-known plugins that identify themselves in the page, such as Yoast SEO, Rank Math, WooCommerce and Elementor. Plugins that only work in the admin area, like most security, backup and admin tools, leave nothing on the public page to detect.
Why does the detector say a site isn't WordPress when it is?
Some sites hide or rename the wp-content folder, serve assets from a CDN with rewritten paths, or remove the generator tag. When none of the usual WordPress signals are present in the delivered HTML, the detector says so rather than guessing.
What happens when a WordPress plugin update breaks a page?
Usually nothing visible to uptime monitors: the page still returns 200 OK while a button, form or layout is broken. MyKavo's WordPress plugin checks your important pages after every plugin, theme and core update and names the update that changed them.
