Okay, first let’s find out if a website is using WordPress CMS, here is how:
Detect WordPress by checking the page code
Check the source code of the website, in Chrome go to View > Developer Options > View source or simply, right-click > View Page Source.
With a search (cmd + f or ctrl + F) for “WordPress” or “/wp-content/” you can already understand that, if found, the site uses WordPress.

Detect WordPress by going to /wp-admin
Most WordPress websites leave the default /wp-admin section (bad security practice) so try adding /wp-admin to the website url like this: www.example.com/wp-admin .
If the WordPress login screen appears then that website definitely uses WordPress CMS.

How to check which theme a WordPress site is using
After we are sure the website is running WordPress we can detect which theme it’s using with one of the following methods:
Search the theme by checking the page code
Every WordPress theme is required to have a file called style.css Simply view the page code and search for this style.css file or the /theme folder where all the themes are located.
