Site Explorer

Full technology & SEO profile of any website (Wappalyzer + BuiltWith style): CMS, theme, plugins, framework, JS & CSS libraries, CDN, hosting, analytics, tag managers, ads, fonts, cookie tools, schema, Open Graph, security headers, HTTP version, SSL, WHOIS, DNS, IP, country and on-site SEO signals.

Fetching live data…

Quick answer

A site explorer is a free tool that analyzes any website from live, public data — its technology stack, server, domain age, SSL status, social profiles, the most important (top) pages from the sitemap, on-page signals and overall size. Enter any domain and you get an instant, structured profile of how a competitor — or your own site — is built and what it invests in, with no signup. It's a practical free Open Site Explorer alternative for sizing up any domain without paying for an expensive research platform.

How it works

  1. Enter a competitor's domain (for example competitor.com).
  2. The tool fetches the homepage and detects technologies, server software and on-page signals.
  3. It queries WHOIS for the domain age and checks the sitemap to estimate the number of indexed pages and surface top pages.
  4. You get a structured overview: tech stack, domain profile, social presence and key pages — ready to compare against your own.

What it shows

  • Full technology profile — CMS, theme, plugins, framework, JavaScript libraries, CSS framework, web server and programming language, the way Wappalyzer and BuiltWith fingerprint a site.
  • Infrastructure — CDN, hosting provider, IP address, reverse DNS, ASN, hosting country and the negotiated HTTP version (HTTP/1.1, HTTP/2, HTTP/3).
  • Marketing & tracking — analytics, tag managers, advertising and pixel networks, cookie/consent tools, and the GA4, GTM, AdSense and Facebook Pixel IDs on the page.
  • SEO signals — title, meta description, H1, canonical, meta robots, language, Open Graph and Twitter cards, Schema.org / microdata / RDFa structured data, robots.txt and sitemap.
  • Security & SSL — HSTS, CSP, X-Frame-Options and other security headers, plus the live SSL/TLS certificate issuer, validity and SAN list.
  • Domain & DNS — WHOIS registrar and dates, domain age, full DNS records (A, AAAA, MX, NS, TXT, CNAME) and the mail/DNS providers.
  • Content & links — top pages from the sitemap, content sections, homepage internal/external link profile and linked social accounts.

Common use cases

  • Competitor research — see how a rival is built and what content they prioritize.
  • Prospecting and outreach — quickly qualify a domain before reaching out.
  • Benchmarking — compare a competitor's tech and structure against your own.
  • Due diligence — get an objective snapshot of an unfamiliar site.

Example

Explore a competitor and you might learn they run WordPress behind Cloudflare, the domain is 8 years old with roughly 240 indexed pages, their biggest content section is /blog/, and they link to four social profiles — a clear picture of an established, content-driven competitor.

Frequently asked questions

Can it show a competitor's backlinks or traffic?

Exact backlink counts and traffic require a proprietary crawl index that no free public source provides, so this tool focuses on the rich data that can be obtained live. For backlink prospecting, use the Link Intersect / Backlink Gap and Backlink Checker / Verifier.

How do I see a competitor's top pages and topics?

The explorer surfaces top pages from the sitemap. For a deeper breakdown of a domain's sections and topics, use the Organic Research / Top Pages, and find content gaps with the Content / Keyword Gap.

Is this a free Open Site Explorer alternative?

Yes. Moz retired the original Open Site Explorer in 2019, yet many people still search for a free site explorer to profile a domain. SeoMods gives you that — strongest pages, internal link structure, tech stack, domain age and SSL — with no signup. For link-specific research, pair it with the Backlink Checker / Verifier and Link Intersect / Backlink Gap.

Is it free?

Yes — free, no signup, real live data. Read our competitor analysis guide for a full workflow.
