How can you detect if a website uses WPBakery?

Detecting whether a website uses WPBakery Page Builder involves checking for specific markers and elements that are characteristic of this popular WordPress plugin.

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’s source code.
  2. Search for WPBakery-Specific Tags: Use Ctrl+F (Windows) or Cmd+F (Mac) to open the search function and look for the following keywords:
    • wpbakery: This is a common keyword associated with WPBakery assets. For example: <link rel="stylesheet" href=".../wp-includes/js/wpbakery/">
    • js_composer: This is another term used by WPBakery’s core files. Look for links like <script src=".../js_composer/assets/js/">
  3. Check for WPBakery Page Builder Shortcodes: Look for shortcodes commonly generated by WPBakery. These might appear in the source as:
    • [vc_row]
    • [vc_column]
    • [vc_button]
    If you see these in the HTML source, it indicates the use of WPBakery.
  4. Look for Powered by Footer Links: Sometimes, WPBakery or themes using WPBakery will have credit links in the footer, such as Powered by WPBakery Page Builder. Check the footer section of the page.
  5. Search for Unique CSS Classes: WPBakery often adds specific CSS classes to elements. Look for classes that start with:
    • vc_: Such as vc_row, vc_column, etc.
    These classes indicate that the content was created with WPBakery.
  6. Check for WPBakery Scripts in the Header: Look in the “ section of the HTML for scripts associated with WPBakery. For example, you might find something like <script src=".../wp-content/plugins/js_composer/assets/js/">
  7. Inspect the Page Elements: Right-click on page elements created using WPBakery and select “Inspect” to see the underlying HTML structure. You can often find markers or attributes unique to WPBakery components.
