Although, most of the time, it is really hard to make sure that those features or functionality is exactly related to which plugins used on that website, moreover there is no such an absolute way to detect all the plugins installed on a website, trying below methods can help you to at least do your best for finding what you need:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-detect-installed-plugins-manually\">Detect installed plugins manually&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-in-the-html-code\"><strong>In the HTML code<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>As we mentioned before, looking for themes and plugins in a website code from a browser like \u201c<strong>Chrome<\/strong>\u201d is one of the simplest ways for identifying them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finding plugins in the website code after opening the source code from the \u201c<strong>Chrome<\/strong>\u201d page, is not as easy as finding its theme.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To do it quicker, it is recommended to look for the below content in the code or find them by quick search:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong><em>wp-content\/plugins\/<\/em><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The name after this content is exactly the name of the installed plugin.
