FAQ
How do I check if a website is using Laravel?
Open the page in Chrome, click the Sourcemap Explorer toolbar icon, and read the Stack tab. The popup matches Laravel's fingerprint signals (response headers, asset URL prefixes, runtime globals, sourcemap paths) and flags it whenever any combination is found. The same checks can be reproduced manually in DevTools — see the "How we detect" section above.
What Laravel version can Sourcemap Explorer detect?
Laravel ships as a hosted web frameworks rather than a bundled npm package, so version-specific detection isn't always possible. Where the platform leaks a version in response headers (`X-Powered-By`, `Server`, generator meta tags) we surface it; otherwise we report presence only.
Is Laravel open source?
Yes, Laravel is open source. The license details are listed on the official site (https://laravel.com), and the codebase typically lives on a public source-control host.
Where can I read more about Laravel?
