WPForms Detector

How can you detect if a website uses WPForms?

Detecting if a website uses WPForms involves looking for specific indicators in the website’s source code. WPForms is a popular plugin for WordPress that adds contact forms and other form functionalities to websites.

Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to check for WPForms:

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 the WPForms Plugin Path: Use Ctrl+F (Windows) or Cmd+F (Mac) to open the search function and look for:
   • wp-content/plugins/wpforms/: This path indicates that WPForms is installed on the website.
3. Look for WPForms-Specific JavaScript Files: Search for keywords related to WPForms in the source code. Look for:
   • wpforms.js: This is a JavaScript file associated with WPForms functionality.
4. Check for WPForms Shortcodes: If the website uses shortcodes for forms, look for:
   • [wpforms id="X"]: This shortcode renders a WPForms form where “X” is the form ID.
5. Inspect Form Markup: Find the HTML code for the forms on the webpage. Look for specific attributes:
   • class="wpforms-form": This class indicates that the form is generated by WPForms.
6. Look for CSS References: WPForms often includes specific CSS styles. Search for:
   • .wpforms-container: This class is typically used in the styling of WPForms.
7. Check for Form Submissions via AJAX: WPForms supports AJAX form submissions. Look for JavaScript code related to AJAX with references to WPForms, such as:
   • AJAX calls that include wpforms in the request URL.
