Enter a WordPress site's URL: Orilyt identifies the active theme, its version, its author and its parent theme if any. Free, no sign-up.
Non-intrusive analysis: Orilyt only reads the page's public signals (theme paths, style.css header).
More than 4 in 10 European WordPress sites publicly expose their version number — Orilyt 2026 Barometer, 19,901 websites measured.
On WordPress, the theme determines a site's appearance and much of its behavior. Recognizing the theme of a site you like means you can use it yourself, estimate it for a quote, or spot an outdated theme that poses a security risk.
Orilyt relies on two public signals, present in the code of almost every WordPress site:
/wp-content/themes/{theme-name}/. The name that appears most often is the active theme.style.css header — every WordPress theme contains a style.css file whose header declares the official name, version, author and, where applicable, the parent theme (Template).A good practice is to customize a theme via a "child theme", which inherits from a parent theme. In that case, two themes appear in the code: the child (active) and the parent (which it depends on). The tool reports both when present.
If the site isn't on WordPress, it has no WordPress theme: you can then detect its CMS. Some WordPress sites also hide their paths (caching, optimization, security): in that case the tool shows "theme not identified".
Knowing the theme doesn't tell you whether it's up to date, whether it slows the site down, or whether it exposes a known vulnerability. A nulled (pirated) or abandoned theme is one of the most common attack vectors on WordPress.
Orilyt goes beyond detection: exposed version, outdated theme and plugins, performance, security, technical SEO, accessibility — more than 80 checkpoints in a clear report. The first audit is free.
Does the tool show the theme's version and author?
Yes, when the theme exposes them in its style.css file, which is the default on most themes. Some sites strip this information: the tool then shows the theme name without the version.
Does it work on every WordPress site?
On most. Sites behind aggressive caching, a CDN that rewrites paths or a security plugin can hide the theme. In that case, Orilyt's full audit cross-checks other signals.
Why identify a site's theme?
To draw inspiration from a site you like, to estimate a takeover quote (a premium or custom theme isn't taken over like a free one), or to spot an outdated theme that needs updating.
The site isn't on WordPress — what now?
Use the CMS detector to find out which platform it runs on (Drupal, Joomla, Shopify…).
