Ask HN: How to identify a website built with Bootstrap?
I tried doing a "View source", but couldn't figure out how to definitively know whether a given website built with Bootstrap or not. (Also tried a Google search before posting on HN.)
- hardwaresofton 13y agoMarkup is the way to go, look at classes of buttons, divs and spans. Look for -lg or spans and stuff like that. That... and you could open up the dev console
- YoAdrian 13y agoView source and look for a CSS file named something like "bootstrap".
- fmikhail 13y agoUsually this is the best way.If the bootstrap.css has been renamed you can download bootstrap.css (or minified version) file,open css file in the website source, then [Ctrl+F]+[Ctrl+V].
- sganesh 13y agoCheckout http://builtwith.com http://builtwith.com. If the css is not renamed, merged or minified it will be listed in the technologies used. Else, you have to do the one of the other suggestions here.
- ivanbrussik 13y agoI'd also like to suggest a really cool browser plugin called Wappalyzer. Its really good (ok, kind of decent) at guessing the platforum of a website and will even guess plugins, frameworks, CMS, web server and I think sometimes even host.
- richbradshaw 13y agoA mildly decent way is to check for `span[0-9]+` or the newer `col-` whatever classes. A site using classes of `container` and the ones previously mentioned probably has a 80%+ chance of using the bootstrap grid.
