URL Auto-correction

The Tech Stack Detector now includes intelligent URL auto-correction that automatically fixes common URL issues before analysis. This feature ensures a smoother user experience and reduces errors from incorrect URL formats.

Auto-correction Features

Protocol Addition

Automatically adds https:// when protocol is missing

example.com → https://example.com
www Prefix Handling

Properly handles URLs with or without www prefix

www.example.com → https://www.example.com
Path Cleanup

Removes duplicate slashes and cleans up paths

example.com//path → https://example.com/path
URL Decoding

Decodes encoded URLs for better readability

example.com%20test → https://example.com test

How It Works: When you enter a URL, the auto-correction feature analyzes it and automatically applies necessary fixes. You'll see a preview showing the original URL, the corrected URL, and what corrections were made. You can choose to proceed with the corrected URL or cancel and enter a different URL.

Supported URL Formats:

Full URL: https://example.com
Without protocol: example.com
With www prefix: www.example.com
With path: example.com/blog

Note: URL auto-correction also works automatically in the background for batch analysis. Each URL in a batch is processed to ensure consistent format before analysis.

Getting Started

The Tech Stack Detector analyzes websites to identify the technologies they use, including frameworks, content management systems, hosting platforms, analytics tools, and more. It provides confidence scores for each detected technology and offers performance and security insights.

Quick Start Steps:

  1. Enter a website URL in the input field (you can just enter example.com without https:// - it will be auto-corrected)

Version Detection

The Tech Stack Detector now includes version detection for detected technologies. When version information is available from the website analysis, it will be displayed alongside the technology name, helping you understand exactly which version of a technology is in use.

Version Display Features

Detailed List View

Versions shown in the detailed technology list with confidence bars

React 18.2.0
Summary Badges

Compact badge view showing technology + version together

React 18.2.0
History Records

Version info preserved in analysis history

React 18.2.0
Export Data

Versions included in JSON/CSV exports

"React 18.2.0"

How It Works: Version detection is performed during the website analysis. The analyzer examines script tags, meta tags, and other indicators to identify specific versions. When versions are detected, they are displayed with the technology name. Some websites may not expose version information, in which case only the technology name will be shown.

Note: Version detection accuracy depends on what information websites publicly expose. Not all websites make version information available. The confidence score indicates how certain the detection is, regardless of whether a version was found.
