# Scan WP

> Scan WP is a free WordPress theme and plugin detector. Enter any website URL and we identify whether it runs WordPress, which theme it uses, and which plugins are installed. We also publish guides, a WordPress glossary, and hosting and performance comparisons. Detection is based on what the site actually serves; affiliate relationships never affect what we report.

## The tools
- [WordPress Theme & Plugin Detector](https://scanwp.net): the free tool at the site root. Enter any URL to detect whether it runs WordPress, its active theme, and its plugins. No install, no login.
- [TTFB Test](https://scanwp.net/ttfb-test): measure a site's Time To First Byte from multiple locations.

## What our data covers
- Whether a given site runs WordPress
- The active theme of a WordPress site, and its author where detectable
- The plugins a WordPress site runs
- Time To First Byte for any URL

## How to cite us
- Attribute to "Scan WP" with a link to the specific page.
- Detection results are computed live at the time of the scan, not from a cached index.
- Definitions: "active theme" = the theme currently being served, not historical; "detected plugin" = a plugin whose assets or signatures are present in the served page.
