WordPress Theme Detector
Paste any website address and see which WordPress theme it runs. Free, no sign-up.
Wondering how to know what theme a WordPress site is using? Paste the address above. A WordPress site loads its theme’s stylesheet from a folder named after the theme itself, so the answer is sitting in the page every visitor already receives — no login, no scan, no guesswork.
It works whether you want to identify a theme you liked on someone else’s site, confirm what a client is actually running before you quote, or check that your own child theme is loading the parent you expect. Where a site uses a child theme you will see both, which is usually the more useful answer.
What we will not do is predict whether the theme is free or premium. WordPress publishes nothing that settles it, so a folder named astra could be the free Astra or an agency’s paid fork of it. We report the name and stop there.

What a WordPress theme is, and why anyone checks
A WordPress theme is the layer that decides how a site looks and behaves — layout, typography, navigation, how a product or post page is assembled. Some are free from the wordpress.org directory, some are commercial, and a great many are page-builder shells like Astra or Hello Elementor that exist mainly to get out of Elementor’s way.
People check for three reasons. A site owner sees a design they like and wants to know whether they can buy it. A developer is quoting for work and needs to know what they would inherit. An agency is sizing a market and wants to know what the sites in it actually run.
The first question is the one we cannot fully answer, and we say so rather than guessing: WordPress publishes no marker for where a theme came from. We report the name the site serves.
What the detector reports
- Theme name — the directory the site actually serves
- Parent and child — both, when the site uses a child theme
- WordPress version, when the site publishes it
- WooCommerce — whether the site is also a shop
A site we cannot read returns “could not check”, never “no theme”. A failure to measure is not a finding.

The long tail is the real story. Those fifteen are the recognisable names, but the dataset holds 187,248 distinct theme directories across 2,167,122 sites. Most WordPress sites are not running a theme you could name.
What this table leaves out, so you know it is filtered. Generic directory names that are not distributable themes are excluded — theme (1,070), default (312), custom (229), main (132), child-theme (100), wp-theme (29), child (17). Those are child-theme scaffolds and host defaults, not themes anyone chose by name. Measured 16 August 2026.

How does the WordPress theme detector work?
A WordPress site serves its theme’s stylesheet from a path containing the theme’s own folder name — /wp-content/themes/<name>/. That path is in the HTML the site sends to every visitor. The detector reads that one public page and reports the name it finds. No login, no scanning.
Is it free?
Yes. No sign-up, no credit card, no email required.
Why does it show two themes?
Almost always because the site uses a child theme — a small override layer on top of a parent theme. That is the recommended way to customise WordPress, because it keeps your changes when the parent updates. Both directories are served, so both are visible, and we show both rather than picking one.
Can you tell me if the theme is free or premium?
No, and we will not guess. WordPress publishes nothing equivalent to Shopify’s Theme Store ID, so a folder called “astra” could be the free Astra from wordpress.org or an agency’s modified fork under the same name. We report the theme the site serves and say nothing about where it came from, because we genuinely cannot see that.
It says WordPress but shows no theme. How?
Some builds serve every asset from a CDN path that drops the theme folder, and some bundlers rewrite it away entirely. The site certainly has a theme — it just does not publish which one in a readable form. We say that rather than reporting “no theme”.
Does it work for a site you have never crawled?
Yes — any WordPress site, whether or not we have seen it before. Paste the address and you get an answer.
Can I see the plugins too?
Yes — the WordPress Plugin Detector reads them from the same public page, and reports the theme alongside them.
