How the Page Builder Detector works
From URL to detected builder in 4 steps
-
1 Step 1
Enter URL
Enter the address of the page you want to look at. It works for any publicly accessible WordPress site.
-
2 Step 2
Render the page
We load the page in a real browser, including JavaScript, so that content inserted later is also taken into account.
-
3 Step 3
Count builder elements
We search the HTML for the typical CSS classes of 10 page builders and count the matching elements.
-
4 Step 4
Read the result
The report names the main builder, lists further builders and shows theme and plugins alongside.

How to read the result
Four things that help you interpret the detected builder
- Main builder
- The builder with the most elements on the page is shown as the main result. On a typical Elementor page that is several hundred elements against a handful of Gutenberg blocks.
- Several builders
- If more than one builder is found, the report lists all of them with their element count. Two full builders on one page are usually a sign of a relaunch that was never finished.
- Block theme
- The report shows separately whether the theme is a block theme. We check for the file
templates/index.htmlin the theme folder, the reliable marker for Full Site Editing. - Classic Editor
- If no builder classes are found, the report shows Classic Editor. That is also the result for pages whose content comes entirely from theme templates or custom code.
Find out which page builder a WordPress site uses
You like a website and want to know how it was built? Or you are taking over a client project and need to know what to expect before you quote? The InspectWP Page Builder Detector loads the page in a real browser and looks at the finished HTML. Every page builder leaves characteristic CSS classes in its output, for example .elementor-widget for Elementor or .et_pb_section for Divi. We count these elements and tell you which builder the page was built with.
More than the builder: theme, add-ons and plugins in one report
The page builder alone rarely tells the whole story. That is why the report also shows the active theme including a child theme, whether it is a block theme with Full Site Editing, and all plugins detected on the page. This includes typical companions such as Elementor Pro or add-on packs. For agencies this is the quickest way to assess a takeover: you see at a glance whether you are dealing with a lean block setup or with a builder plus a dozen extensions.
