Quick facts
Detection methodology for Analytics
Analytics SDKs are usually loaded from a vendor-controlled CDN (`googletagmanager.com`, `google-analytics.com`, `cdn.segment.com`, `cdn.amplitude.com`, `eu.i.posthog.com`) and expose a global with a recognisable surface. We catch the script src URL plus the global plus — when a sourcemap is available — the exact `node_modules/<sdk>/package.json` version. Tracker isolation prevents these vendor libraries from polluting the surrounding stack readings.
How we detect Mixpanel
Each signal alone is rarely conclusive — Sourcemap Explorer cross-references all of them and weights by confidence. You can reproduce any of these checks yourself in Chrome DevTools.
Window-level global the technology installs on page. Reproducible by typing the path into the DevTools console.
window.mixpanel
Script URL pattern. Typically a CDN host or chunk path that ships with the technology.
cdn\.mxpnl\.com/libs/mixpanel\-([0-9.]+)\.min\.js
api\.mixpanel\.com/track
VITE_MIXPANEL_KEY
A DOM selector that only this technology's pages render. Verified at runtime by the content script.

FAQ
How do I check if a website is using Mixpanel?
Open the page in Chrome, click the Sourcemap Explorer toolbar icon, and read the Stack tab. The popup matches Mixpanel'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 Mixpanel version can Sourcemap Explorer detect?
Mixpanel ships as a hosted analytics 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.
