FAQ WordPress plugin Detection

WPoptic is a professional WordPress plugin detection tool that identifies plugins and themes used on any WordPress website. With a comprehensive database of over 30,000 plugin signatures, WPoptic delivers accurate detection results instantly and completely free of charge.

WPoptic scans the website’s HTML, script calls, style sheets, and unique plugin fingerprints. It checks these against our growing database of plugin signatures. The detector works instantly in your browser, so you don’t need to install anything on the target website. Or use the website scan on this website

Yes, WPoptic is completely free with no usage limitations. You can detect plugins on as many WordPress websites as you need without any subscription fees or hidden costs. However, if you would like to lists of websites using a specific plugin. Then check out our lead lists

We track plugin names, versions, authors, URLs, premium markers, and usage frequency across all scanned sites. The data is extremely accurate because every detection is validated against our signature library. We continuously improve these signatures, so the accuracy grows automatically as more users scan websites.

Absolutely. WPoptic stores every detection in a central database. This allows you to generate lists like “websites using Rank Math,” “websites using Elementor,” or “sites running WooCommerce.” You can later filter, sort, or export these lists for prospecting, competitor research, or plugin analysis.

New detections flow into WPoptic every day through the Browser extension. We update plugin signatures, versions, and metadata continuously. This keeps the database fresh and ensures new or updated plugins get recognized quickly. Our database is updated each quarter. 

Most of the time, yes. Even with aggressive caching, plugins still leave traces in the markup or assets. For headless WordPress or extremely custom builds, detection may be limited, but WPoptic still attempts to follow asset paths and script patterns that reveal hidden plugins.

Yes. WPoptic supports exporting in multiple formats so you can use the data in your CRM, spreadsheets, or presentations. Perfect for agencies doing audits, plugin developers researching markets, or freelancers creating reports for clients.

With the free Chrome extension, you can scan as many sites as you want. But our extension has a limiter so people don’t use it for bulk data extraction. If you need any type of WordPress list, please check out our lead-list function.

Yes. WPoptic aggregates detections from all scans to show you which plugins are rising in popularity. This makes it ideal for plugin developers, marketers, and agencies. You can spot trends early and adjust your strategy based on real usage data.
