How to tell if a website is built on BigCommerce

Paste any domain and we will tell you whether it is BigCommerce, how sure we are and which signs gave it away.

BigCommerce is an online shop platform.

Free, no sign-up. We make up to four requests, like a visitor: the home page, robots.txt and the sitemap — and read public signs only.

Signs of BigCommerce we look for

None of these alone is proof on every site; together they give a confidence level. You can also check most of them yourself by viewing the page source and response headers.

  • The page loads files from “bigcommerce.com”
  • Page markup has the attribute “data-stencil”
  • The site sets a cookie with a characteristic name
  • The domain’s DNS record points to “mybigcommerce.com”
  • The sitemap contains files named in this platform’s style
