Remember in some cases these websites don’t detect the website them. If the theme is designed by developers for private use.

Now the second method to identify WP theme in a little time.

2.Detect manually Which WP theme that Website Has

Mainly this issue you face when a private theme is installed on a website or some modification was done on that them. Now you will identify the theme name using manual wp theme identification method.

Every theme have some js,css and php files there and there are many clues there because of pleanty files. Now you access some files where you get clue of the wp theme.

Now you will use css file to identify the theme name. Every website have style.css which contains many information of a website like theme name, author name, version of the theme and the css part.

Open the website whose website theme you want to know, now open the source code and search for “style.css”.

Now most WordPress sites are using CDN which compresses all the JS, CSS files into a CDN link which helps to boost up a website speed. If any website is using CDN then you don’t use method no 2.
