You might want to consider installing Wappalyzer. It instantly tells you what technologies a website is using with a small icon in your browser. Then, you do not need an error page to figure out that Remmington uses Laravel. Check it out: https://i.imgur.com/4PngJfF.png (note the Laravel icon to the right of the address bar, left of RES).
Wappalyzer also tells you what sites also use a certain technology. For Laravel: https://www.wappalyzer.com/technologies/laravel
I interview developers now and again and always ask to see examples of work (showing off a portfolio site or a site built for university project is fine) and ideally some code they have written (e.g. link to github projects), so if you can take a laptop along with few projects that would be a great start.
Before you go, try figure out what tech the company uses, if it's not listed on the website or job spec, you can run https://www.wappalyzer.com/ on a few of the portfolio sites. This way you can have a read up and understand a bit more about what they may ask you. e.g. you may discover they use Mongo DB. If you don't have experience with it, have a read, question comes up do you know Mongo, you can answer along lines of "No, but I am interested in learning it, I understand it's a NoSql database that's quite popular at the moment". This way you're not just saying no, you are showing you have interest in learning, something they will be looking out for (especially with more junior positions).
>Also I am not sure If I really want this job because I am a 2nd year university student and joining this would mean I should skip a lot of my classes.
I wouldn't suggest skipping class, but can't you work it around? The experience will be really valuable and your skills will increase much quicker working in commercial team environment than they will at home.
Final advice, turn up 10 minutes early, don't overdress (jeans/shirt is fine) and be enthusiastic, part of the success of the interview is just getting on well with the people you will be working with.
I'm going to save ECR a whole lot of troubles going forward.
Install Wappalyzer. https://www.wappalyzer.com/
When you visit a website to buy vape shit, if you see the Magento icon (below), close the tab and shop somewhere else.

Self hosted Magento sites are shit, and never secure because the random warehouse you are buying vape products from doesn't bother to keep an IT guy who knows PCI Compliance on payroll.
One great tool you can use is a Chrome browser extension called Wappalyzer. This will tell you the tech stack that just about any website is running. The quick and dirty way though is to just open up the browser dev tools and search the source code for either the string 'wp-content/themes' 'wp-content' as most themes/sites will still be using the default theme directories. Another little trick you can try is searching the source code for the term "Yoast" as most Wordpress websites are going to be using Yoast SEO for search engine optimization.
as MiesL has pointed out it seems like a custom-made website. Next time you wonder about the technologies behind a web platform i suggest that you use Weppalyzer. It's a browser extension that i've been using for this exact reason.
I'm not on the team that redid the website, but I use wappalyzer to figure those kinds of things out! Seems like they used React, which makes sense as we're using it more heavily across Riot as a whole.
You can use Wappalyzer to check technologies as well. https://www.wappalyzer.com/
(the website is experiencing high loads atm, but you can download a Chrome extension).
Have you perhaps tried running it through builtwith.com ? (hint, following that link should bring you the results)
this may help break things down further for you
The site you link to is using a 3rd party library - Pixi.js - to create the user-interactive banner animation. Further down, the outline texts which (appear to) animate along a path as the user scrolls down are SVG code (the circular one is an SVG acting as the src for an <img> element, that animation is a simple CSS rotation on the img). The wavy images that appear when you hover the mouse cursor over the table are (probably) a Pixi.js displacement map effect - you can achieve the same sort of thing using an SVG filter on an <img> element. More generally, Wappalyzer tells me the site is using Vue and Gridsome, and also loading GSAP - I assume to animate scrolling and stuff.
You can learn how to do this sort of discovery by going to a website, opening the browser's Inspector and looking to see what downloads when you reload the page. Clues can often be found in the HTML markup - for instance different frameworks will add classes to elements in their own telltale ways. Sometimes the coders (or 3rd party libraries) will leave helpful messages in the console as the JS runs. You can watch the elements as you scroll the page to see what CSS animations are triggering. You can also view the CSS and JS bundles the site downloads - even after minification and obfuscation there are sometimes clues in the code about the technology being used.
Basically, be nosey. If you find a site that makes you feel jealous, poke around its innards and try to replicate some of the cooler features you find. And don't be afraid to ask people how they would go about creating a particular effect - because often there will be many ways to do it!
Poate te ajută extensia wappalyzer. O instalezi în browser și îți spune ce folosește un site.
De exemplu, primul site folosește clasicul Wordpress. Celelalte două par să fie făcute cu React.
Trendul acum e să se construiască un front-end, în React sau Vue.js, care își trage datele de la un API. API-ul din spate poate fi orice, inclusiv Wordpress (nu cred că vrei să construiești de la 0 un UI în care să își pună ruda articolele, decât dacă vrei să înveți).
Poți să folosești Server-Side-Rendering, cu Next.js (React) sau Nuxt.js (Vue), ceea ce înseamnă că site-ul e parțial randat pe server și poate fi indexat de Google.
Domenii poți să cumperi de oriunde. Serviciile de găzduire vând în general și domenii. Poți să cumperi de acolo, sau chiar de la sursă, de la ROTLD.
Dacă doar vrei să faci site-ul și gata, poți să încerci să setezi ceva pe WordPress.com și cumperi domeniul la ROTLD, sau unde găsești mai repede.
Dar dacă vrei să te reprofilezi și să continui în domeniu, încearcă să te familiarizezi cu ce am scris mai sus.
Depends on the site but for a quick overview you could try https://www.wappalyzer.com
(Make sure to deactivate the plugin again or use the bookmarklet, because they could - at least theoretically - track your browsing behaviour)
He hired a company to do it with WordPress: https://llos.co.
Imitation is the greatest form of flattery: https://www.wappalyzer.com/lookup/https://www.tylermitchell.co/
It shouldn't be too hard to replicate.
As for the sales, hmmm. Design, sure.
Not a dumb question! If you're interested about these things, I highly recommend the Wappalyzer extension (and I do mean the extension, the website is annoying).
Long answer is: Next.js (which is built on React) with Styled-Components, written in Typescript
Going further, the site is built in WordPress. Looking at the URL I would imagine they have a Custom Post Type of "Projects". That's about all I can be certain of. From there they could be making a completely custom theme or they're using a child theme. It's also possible - especially since the different layouts - they are using some type of page builder. In that context they would essentially be given a header and footer and somebody builds out the page using a visual editor. There are other options but that's probably the easiest.
You should check out Wappalyzer. It does a pretty good job sniffing out what sites are built with.
You can use browser extensions for that, I personally use https://www.wappalyzer.com on both chrome and Firefox it works great and clearly shows all the technologies used.
If it is a Wordpress website then view page source and search for keyword "theme", it normally works. But a recent trend of renaming the theme using a plugin has increased.
I usually use wapplyzer whenever I want to find out what websites are built with.
They also have a chrome extension which is handy to use.
Y a pas plus énorme comme bêtise : https://w3techs.com/technologies/details/js-jquery
> jQuery is used by 95.3% of all the websites whose JavaScript library we know. This is 78.4% of all websites.

En voulant bosser à mi-temps, OP ne travaillera probablement pas sur de nouveaux projets, mais trouvera pas mal de contrats de maintenance sur du legacy code. Pour ça, il vaut mieux connaître les technos "commuines" plutôt que de se lancer dans du react.
There is a website wappalyser (I’m sure there’s others as well) where you can put in a web address and it will tell you exactly what technologies were used to create that page
Although it doesn't necessarily provide the JavaScript libraries used, https://www.wappalyzer.com/ is a great extension if you're ever wondering what technologies make up different sites
A good Firefox extension for looking into things like this is Wappalyzer: https://www.wappalyzer.com/
More often than not gives you a pretty detailed list of tools and services used, it wasn't amazingly useful on this site in particular unfortunately, but for future references it's generally very informative
https://www.wappalyzer.com/lookup will let you search up sites and link you to the tech's website/documentation PLUS shows stats & other sites using specific tech PLUS has a google chrome extension!!
As for websites, which are Web Applications, there is: linkedin, AWS, ebay, aliexpress..
https://www.wappalyzer.com/technologies/programming-languages/java
yes i am the only developer, you can refer to for full list https://www.wappalyzer.com
i use cloudflare bulma node.js -> expressjs jquery sqreen for security netlify for static cdn
you can always reach me on discord if you have something on your mind !
AFAIK there's nothing to be accepted, it just attempts to detect which tech is being used on a website and returns the list. From my experience it doesn't do a particularly great job and frequently reports "high load" when making request for less known (non-cached, I'm assuming) sites.
I'm on my phone at this time, so I can't right now, but you should try this Chrome & Firefox extension. It tells you technology behind the websites your are on. Pretty useful. https://www.wappalyzer.com
Let us know what you find out.
> What backend do you think dollar shave club is using?
As already mentioned by /u/WizardFromTheMoon, it appears to be node + express. Check out wappalyzer.
> Why didn't the image load?
Also already sort of mentioned by /u/CreativeTechGuyGames... The image path seems to be directly generated from the query string without normalization. A better approach would be to apply some sort of normalization - for example maybe you sort the list of options alphabetically before generating the path to the image so shave,shower and shower,shave both produce a list like ['shave', 'shower'].
> What do I need to do to use parameters like this? (I mainly use PHP but I am interested if this is a language/app server specific trait)
In PHP you can use the explode function to turn a string into a list - for example if you were using a framework like laravel:
Route::get('/get-started/plan/{list}', function ($list) { $plans = explode(',', $list);
// At this point $plans might look like ['shave', 'shower'] })->where('list', '[a-z,]+');
I use a Chrome Extension called Who is Hosting? - by HostAdvice.
On FireFox I use Wappalyzer, although this is also available on Chrome too.
The above Jihad Watch post cites a news source, Breaking Israel News, which in turn got its info from a Reddit post. The claim that Ilhan Omar uses an Israeli company to run her website is easily verified in just the way that the original article states.
Go to the website technology lookup site https://www.wappalyzer.com/
Scroll down to the technology lookup section. Type in www.IlhanOmar.com into the query field. You'll see that among the web services it lists is Wix, an Israeli company.
Clearly, the above article Jihad Watch post is accurate, and just as clearly, Ilhan Omar is a huge, lying hypocrite.
It is also clear from this that your apparent sarcasm about the accuracy of Jihad Watch's accuracy was unwarranted. When will you retract that?
I like using Wappalyzer to see what frameworks, tools, etc. are used on certain sites.
For instance, on reddit Wappalyzer's telling me that Backbone.js, Prebid, Bootstrap, Varnish, Python, Modernizr, and a few other techs are being used.
It actually is pretty easy. Once you know what ip/url is being used to retrieve data, you can use that to find out what backend is being used.
Things like url extensions (.php) or http headers give out a lot of information. I believe Wappalyzer does this.
While it's true that you can't for certain figure out what technology a service uses under the hood, https://www.wappalyzer.com/ is really good at identifying common (and some uncommon) parts of website stacks. It analyzes HTML and JS sources to identify common frameworks and uses HTTP headers to identify some common backend languages and platforms, too.
I wonder why there is no mention of below extension yet.
Wappalyzer: Install Wappalyzer in your browser to see the technologies used on websites you visit at a glance. Shows all of a technology stack used for website in one push. Great tool for web developers. Works like charm for me
Use Wappalyzer for Chrome, really useful tool to get an idea of the tech stack of a website.
For OP's website I get :
- Server: Express (a node.js server)
- Server side language : node.js
- And a collection of js frameworks and mapping tools.
Looks like it is the Wappalyzer plugin that cause these issue but no clue why it would do that. It just analyse the source code of the page and should never refresh/reload a page.
I should've tested it in another browser before posting.
Not sure if you have the issue fixed. I had this issue and I believe it was IP related.
Try visiting some of the websites listed here https://www.wappalyzer.com/applications/cloudflare and see if you get the Cloudflare captcha on multiple websites. Riot use this service, which lead me to what fixed it for me.
I called up my ISP and we worked through ensuring I was giving a new IP address (they have a dynamic allocation system but it wasn't giving me a new one each time I reset my modem).
