VOVSOFT - Web Platform Identifier

Whether you are a web developer or a curious student who is just now learning about web platforms, an application such as VOVSOFT - Web Platform Identifier can be of help. As its name suggests, this software utility makes it possible to identify the underlying web platform for any URL or even URLs, as it can also carry out batch operations.

There are two available editions: a portable and a standard, installer-based one and you can choose whichever you want. However, the advantages of a portable application are widely known. There is no need to go through a setup process and the tool ca be loaded directly from a portable drive and used on the go, no matter where you are.

There are no traces left behind in the registry of the host system, which is also a plus.

If it were to characterize this application in just two words, these would be efficiency and simplicity. Starting with the GUI layout, everything is simple: all the settings are displayed in the main window, with just a few additional options in the application’s menus.

You get to populate the URL list with the links you want, but keep in mind that a few web addresses are already there, so that you can hit the “Start” button and test the application’s functionality.

There are just a few parameters to tamper with, namely the connection timeout, the response timeout and the user agent. The latter can be chosen from a drop-down menu. Once the results are shown, all the data can be easily exported to TXT, CSV and XLS format.

While experts already have an eye to spot the underlying web platform of a website only by browsing its main page, beginners lack the experience to do so. VOVSOFT - Web Platform Identifier can easily find the technologies behind your favorite websites by analyzing their structure, all in a jiffy.
