Odoo Detector

How can you detect if a website uses Odoo?

Identifying whether a website is using Odoo involves checking for specific markers and indicators that are characteristic of Odoo.

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 view the page’s source code.
2. Look for Odoo in the Meta Generator: Search for the meta tag that indicates the use of Odoo. Use Ctrl+F (Windows) or Cmd+F (Mac) to search for the following keyword:
   • Odoo: This will often appear in the meta generator tag, e.g., <meta name="generator" content="Odoo" />.
3. Check for Odoo-Specific URLs: Odoo often has unique URL patterns. Look for links such as /web/ or /shop/ in the URLs present in the source code or network requests.
4. Examining JavaScript Files: Odoo sometimes includes specific JavaScript files. Search for scripts that might look like: <script src="/web/static/src/js/odoo.js"></script>.
5. Look for Odoo Stylesheets: Odoo employs certain stylesheets, often found in the head section. Search for links that resemble this format: <link href="/web/static/src/css/odoo.css"></link>.
6. Check for Backend Features: If you can access any admin or backend features, Odoo typically has URLs containing /web/#/dashboard or similar backend elements.
7. Odoo-Specific Meta Tags: Check for specific meta tags related to Odoo. Look for tags like <meta name="odoo-version" content="14.0"> to identify the version of Odoo being used.
8. Examine Cookie Names: Odoo usually sets specific cookie names. Check for cookies such as session_id or db in your browser’s cookie storage while the site is open.
9. Look for Odoo’s Technical Documentation Links: Some websites might include links or references to Odoo technical documentation or support pages.
