Also catalogued by Sourcemap Explorer's tech database
Contact Form 7 is one of the WordPress plugins with a Wappalyzer fingerprint, which means Sourcemap Explorer detects it from the framework-level signals as well as the WordPress-specific /wp-content/plugins/contact-form-7/ asset path. This page is the canonical entry; a deep-dive on the detection signals lives in the dedicated guide below.
How Sourcemap Explorer detects Contact Form 7
WordPress plugins all load assets from a predictable path: /wp-content/plugins/<slug>/. Sourcemap Explorer enumerates every such URL on the rendered page (script tags and stylesheets) and pulls the version from the ?ver= cache-buster query parameter when WordPress emits one. The slug is then cross-referenced against the wordpress.org plugin directory to attach the human-readable name, author, install count, rating and changelog you see on this page.
- 1
Find /wp-content/plugins/contact-form-7/ in the Network tab
Open DevTools → Network → reload the page. Filter by "JS" or "CSS" and look for asset URLs starting with `/wp-content/plugins/contact-form-7/`. Each match confirms the plugin is loading on the page. Sourcemap Explorer enumerates every plugin path automatically and lists each one in the popup's Stack tab.
- 2
Read the version from the ?ver= query string
WordPress appends the plugin version as a cache-busting query parameter to its asset URLs (`?ver=6.1.5`). Sourcemap Explorer pulls this version directly. The version on this page (6.1.5) is the latest published on wp.org — the version on a real site may lag.
- 3
Cross-reference with wp.org for human-readable metadata
Once the plugin slug is identified, fetch `https://api.wordpress.org/plugins/info/1.2/?action=plugin_information&request[slug]=contact-form-7` to read the human-readable name, author, install count, rating and changelog. This page already does that for you.
