What is the best way for me to find what CMS a webpage is using?

Question

I am taking over this project. The previous developer left absolutely no documentation as to what was done.

I normally log onto 'built with' to find out what technologies were used, but that is not giving me much info.

At this point I am thinking it is on Magento or something, but I can not be 100% sure.

Answer 1

You could use a browser addon such as: Firefox - https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/10229/

Chrome - https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/appspector/homgcnaoacgigpkkljjjekpignblkeae

If you want to do it manually:

For WordPress - CTRL + F -> Search for "/wp-content/"

For Drupal - CTRL + F -> Search for "/sites/" (I think you may also be able to simply search "Drupal")

For Magento - CTRL + F -> Search for "/skin/frontend/"
