What is Pepyaka?

Pepyaka is the codename of the web hosting provider that runs Wix sites behind the scenes.

For example, if your Wix site server is named Pepyaka, it uses a more optimized infrastructure than older Wix environments.

For those who are more technical, “Pepyaka” is the name Wix uses for its newer hosting infrastructure.

When you see Pepyaka (e.g., “Pepyaka 1.19” or “Pepyaka 1.21”), it typically refers to a particular version of Wix’s hosting environment, which includes updated components such as the Node.js runtime and other server-related optimizations.

How can you detect if a website uses Wix Pepyaka?

First, if a website uses Wix, it most likely uses Pepyaka as a web host since Wix offers this hosting for every site.

Detecting if Wix Pepyaka powers a website involves identifying specific markers unique to Wix’s hosting and server configurations.

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. Check for Wix-Specific Server Names: Look for references to “Pepyaka” in the server details. To do this, search for the word “Pepyka” in the page source by using Ctrl+F (Windows) or Cmd+F (Mac).
  3. Look for appDefinitionName: Search for the keyword “appDefinitionName” in the page source. This is a common attribute present in Wix websites. Look for lines of code that resemble:
    • "appDefinitionName": "wix"
  4. Identify Wix’s CDN and Hosting Scripts: Check for links to Wix’s content delivery network (CDN). Look for URLs that include wixstatic.com or wix.com in the source code.
  5. Examine HTML Classes and IDs: Many Wix sites use specific class names and IDs that may appear consistently across different Wix-created sites. Search for:
    • wix-: This prefix is often seen in various classes and elements.
  6. Look for Wix-Integrated Features: Check for the presence of Wix-specific features, such as Wix Chat or Wix Forms, in the page source. This could be noted by looking for scripts or tags that reference these elements.
  7. Analyze Network Requests: Use the browser’s developer tools to monitor network requests. Press F12 (Windows) or Cmd+Option+I (Mac) to open Developer Tools, then navigate to the “Network” tab. Observe if any requests are being made to domains including wix.com or packages from wixstatic.com.
