Site basics (D-wp)

WordPress detection

This page explains what this scan check measures. It is not legal advice or a compliance verdict.

What this check is

This check looks for signals that the site is running WordPress.

Why WordPress sites show it

Generator meta, wp-content paths, and common plugin footprints are typical detectors.

Realistic impact

Detection helps interpret later WordPress-oriented guidance. A miss can happen on heavily customized or headless setups.

How to verify a fix

No fix is required for detection itself; use the result to choose the right operational playbook.
