yes, that's right!
we can also analyze by reviewing site login URL.

if it is site_name/wp-admin/ then it is WordPress
if it is site_name/admin/ then OpenCart
if site_name/administrator/ is login URL then Joomla
and if it is SiteName/user/ then Drupal.

There are several ways to detect a website's CMS (Content Management System). Here are a few methods:

1. Check the page source code: One of the easiest ways to identify a website's CMS is to check the page source code. Look for references to specific CMS platforms, such as WordPress, Drupal, Joomla, or Magento.
2. Use CMS detection tools: There are several online tools available that can help you identify the CMS used by a website. Some popular tools include WhatCMS, BuiltWith, and Wappalyzer.
3. Look for specific file names and directories: Different CMS platforms have their own naming conventions for files and directories. For example, WordPress sites typically have files named wp-admin.php and wp-login.php, while Joomla sites have directories named /administrator/.
4. Check the URL structure: The URLs used by a website can also provide clues as to which CMS it is using. For example, WordPress sites typically have URLs that end with /%postname%/, while Drupal sites may have URLs that include /node/.
5. Check the website's robots.txt file: The robots.txt file is a standard file used by websites to communicate with search engine crawlers. Some CMS platforms include specific directives in their robots.txt files that can help identify them.

By using one or more of these methods, you should be able to determine which CMS a website is using.

There are several ways to detect a website's CMS (Content Management System):

1. Check the page source code: Look for specific patterns or comments in the code that indicate the use of a CMS. For example, WordPress sites often have a comment like "<!-- This site is powered by WordPress -->" in the source code.
2. Use a CMS detection tool: There are many online tools available that can detect the CMS used by a website. These tools scan the website and analyze the code to determine which CMS is being used.
3. Look for specific file names: Many CMSs use specific file names or directories for their core files. For example, Joomla uses "administrator" for its backend files, and Drupal uses "modules" for its plugin files.
4. Check the HTTP headers: Some CMSs add specific headers to the HTTP response that can indicate their presence. For example, the "X-Powered-By" header may include the name of the CMS being used.
5. Look for telltale signs: Different CMSs often have their own unique characteristics that can be detected by experienced developers. For example, WordPress sites often have URLs that include "/wp-admin" or "/wp-content".

By using one or more of these methods, you can usually determine which CMS a website is using.
