How can you detect if a website uses Showit?

Detecting if a website is built using Showit can be accomplished by examining the page source for specific markers.

Below is a step-by-step guide for beginners 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’s source code.
  2. Search for Showit-Specific URLs: Use Ctrl+F (Windows) or Cmd+F (Mac) to open the search function and look for the following keyword:
    • static.showit.co: This URL is a strong indicator that the website uses Showit, as it often appears in the page source.
  3. Look for Showit-Specific Scripts: Search for JavaScript files that may indicate Showit usage. Look for references to files hosted on the Showit domain, such as:
    • cdn.showit.co: This might appear in script tags within the source code.
  4. Check for Showit Meta Tags: Showit also embeds specific meta tags. Look for meta tags that might contain references to Showit, for example:
    • <meta name="showit-version" content="some-value">
  5. Identify Showit-Specific Classes or IDs: Many Showit websites have unique class names or ID attributes in their HTML. Look for class or ID names that include the word “showit”.
  6. Look for Unique Layout Markers: Sometimes the page structure or layouts that are distinctive to Showit can be identified. Look for peculiar layouts or design patterns and associated comments in the source code.
  7. Investigate the Comments Section: Developers may leave comments in the code, sometimes mentioning Showit or the design platform. Use the search feature to look for comments that might reference Showit.
