Question 1

How does technology detection work?

Accepted Answer

The detector fetches a page's HTML and response headers and matches them against known signatures — script paths, meta generator tags, cookie names, and header values that frameworks, CMS platforms, and hosting providers commonly leave behind.

Question 2

Why didn't it detect everything a site uses?

Accepted Answer

Detection relies on visible signatures in HTML and headers. Server-side-only tools, custom builds, or heavily obfuscated code may not leave a detectable trace.
