How can you check if a website is using Notion?

Determining whether a website is built with Notion involves inspecting the website’s source code and certain identifiers that are unique to Notion.

Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to do it:

  1. Open the Page Source: Right-click on the webpage and select “View Page Source” or press Ctrl+U (Windows) or Cmd+Option+U (Mac) to open the page source code.
  2. Search for Notion-Specific Identifiers: Use Ctrl+F (Windows) or Cmd+F (Mac) to open the search function and look for the following keywords that are characteristic of Notion:
    • notion: Look for this keyword, which often appears in URLs and scripts. https://www.notion.so/ is a common example.
    • notionpage: This term frequently appears in JavaScript or HTML attributes if the site utilizes Notion’s API or embeds.
  3. Check for Notion-Specific Meta Tags: Some websites may use specific meta tags that indicate they are built with Notion. Look for tags like:<meta name="notion" content="notion-id-goes-here">
  4. Look for Embedded Notion Links: If you find embedded links that point to Notion pages such as https://www.notion.so/, it is likely that the website uses Notion for its content.
  5. Search for Notion JS Libraries: Some Notion sites may include JavaScript libraries specific to Notion. Check if you can find references to Notion scripts or libraries in the source code that appear like this:<script src="https://www.notion.so/notion.js"></script>
  6. Inspect Network Requests: Open the browser’s developer tools (press F12) and go to the Network tab. Refresh the page and look for any network requests to Notion-related URLs, which could indicate usage of Notion.

If you identify these elements, there is a good chance that the website is utilizing Notion in some capacity.
