Out of millions of the world’s websites, WordPress has decided to become one of the most used platforms for creating blogs and small businesses. It has proven to be an invaluable tool for eCommerce and a huge collection of helpful plugins and other features to enhance any website to the fullest.
With such diversified content, it is not surprising that WordPress would require some additional tools in order to bring people exactly what they want in terms of functionality and customization. Let’s say, for example, that you have been browsing the world wide web in search of a theme for the website you plan to use to start your own business.
You finally see it, the perfect looking page. It has everything you’ve been dreaming of, not to mention it moves with lightning speed and precision, entrancing whatever visitor comes its way. You immediately wonder what WordPress theme is this site using? The answer will take a while to come by. You first have to go to the WordPress theme directory and search for a while, praying to come across that exact theme you found and want to install. Or…
Using a WordPress Theme Detector
You could use a much faster alternative: a WordPress theme detector, to do a quick theme and plugin check and find exactly what you’re looking for, virtually instantly and by undergoing just a few simple steps. Let’s see what they are next:
