    How can you tell if a site is using Umbraco?

    I've been trying to decide which CMS to commit to in a new business venture, and for various reasons I am attracted to Umbraco.  In order to help make a decision I am trying to find as many sites as possible that use Umbraco, so I can see what has been done.  There are some that are showcased on umbraco.com, but there are a few sites around that look like they could be Umbraco, but there's no evidence for it that I can see.

    Are there any characteristics visible in the page source that I could look for and be able to tell with a high degree of confidence that it was generated by Umbraco?

    I know of course that it has to be ASP.NET, so that's the first step.  But is there anything Umbraco-specific?

    And does anyone know if Angie's List is run on Umbraco?

    Hi Cyberherbalist

    Generally, image paths follow this syntax "/media/[number]/[imageName]" I am not very familiar with all the CMSs or blogging platforms out there, but this should be fairly unique to Umbraco. This doesn't mean though, that the images couldn't be off-loaded to a CDN. Looking at the Angies List site, I would guess it isn't Umbraco. Cheers!

    Hi,

    you can look at the response header X-Umbraco-Version, it will show you which umbraco version the website is running. Altough it can be disabled in the umbracosettings.config and it has been removed since 4.8.1 (http://our.umbraco.org/forum/using/ui-questions/20552-remove-the-umbraco-http-header?p=1)

    Rgds,

    David
