HubSpot Guide: How to Find Which WordPress Theme a Site Is Using

Many marketers working with Hubspot also manage WordPress sites and want to know exactly which theme a competitor or inspiration site is using. In this guide, you will learn practical, repeatable ways to identify a WordPress theme on almost any website so you can research design options, performance, and features with confidence.

This tutorial is based on the same clear, step-by-step style you see in official HubSpot resources, but focused specifically on WordPress theme detection using free tools and your browser.

Why Marketers Using HubSpot Care About WordPress Themes

If you build campaigns in HubSpot and manage content in WordPress, understanding themes is essential. The theme controls layout, styling, and many user experience details that can directly affect conversions and SEO.

Knowing which theme a site uses helps you:

  • Replicate a layout or aesthetic you admire.
  • Evaluate if a theme is fast, accessible, and mobile-friendly.
  • Discover compatible plugins and builders used alongside it.
  • Align WordPress presentation with HubSpot landing pages and emails for a consistent brand experience.

Method 1: Use Online Theme Detector Tools with a HubSpot-Style Workflow

Several free websites act much like HubSpot diagnostic tools. They scan a URL and extract theme data automatically.

Step-by-step process

  1. Open your browser and copy the URL of the WordPress site you want to analyze.
  2. Visit an online WordPress theme detector tool of your choice.
  3. Paste the site URL into the detector’s search field.
  4. Click the analyze or search button.
  5. Review the results: theme name, version, author, and sometimes plugins.

These tools often reveal:

  • The active theme name and a link to its homepage.
  • Whether it’s a child theme or a parent theme.
  • A list of some active plugins, which is similar in spirit to how HubSpot surfaces integrations and connected apps.

Online detectors are fast and beginner-friendly, but sometimes a site hides theme details or uses heavy customization. In those cases, use the manual methods below.

Method 2: Inspect the Page Source Like a HubSpot Technical Specialist

When automated tools fail, you can inspect the source code directly. This approach feels similar to digging into advanced settings or tracking code in HubSpot.

How to open the page source

  1. Go to the website you are reviewing.
  2. Right-click anywhere on the page.
  3. Select View Page Source (or similar, depending on your browser).

A new tab will open, showing the site’s HTML. Now you can search for clues.

Search for the theme folder

  1. Press Ctrl + F (Windows) or Command + F (Mac).
  2. Type /wp-content/themes/ into the search box.
  3. Look for URLs similar to:
    https://example.com/wp-content/themes/theme-name/

The text that appears right after /wp-content/themes/ is usually the theme directory name. This will often match or closely resemble the public theme name you can search for online.

Once you have that directory name, search the web for it. You can usually find:

  • The official theme page on the WordPress directory or the developer site.
  • Documentation, demos, and pricing.
  • Compatibility notes you can compare with your HubSpot-connected tech stack.

Method 3: Use Browser Developer Tools with a HubSpot Mindset

Developer tools built into your browser provide another way to uncover the theme. This feels similar to using the inspector tools when embedding HubSpot tracking scripts or forms.

Open developer tools

  1. Right-click on the webpage.
  2. Choose Inspect or Inspect Element.
  3. In the developer tools panel, open the Sources or Network tab, depending on your browser.

Inspect theme-related files

Look for folders and files that include:

  • /wp-content/themes/
  • style.css
  • functions.php

The theme directory will appear inside that path. When you locate style.css in the theme folder and open it, you will usually see a header comment at the top containing:

  • Theme Name
  • Theme URI
  • Author
  • Author URI
  • Version

This information is similar in detail to app listings and theme descriptions in HubSpot, making it easy to research and evaluate.

Method 4: Compare the Site with the Theme Demo (HubSpot-Style Testing)

After you have the theme name, verify it by comparing the live site with its official demo. This mirrors how teams compare a HubSpot template preview with the published page.

  1. Search for the theme name you discovered.
  2. Open the main demo site offered by the theme developer or marketplace.
  3. Compare:
  • Header layout and navigation style.
  • Blog post design and archive pages.
  • Buttons, forms, and typography.
  • Mobile layout behavior.

If the structure and design match closely, you have high confidence that the same theme is in use, even if the colors and images differ.

Method 5: Use a HubSpot-Inspired Checklist When Theme Detectors Fail

Sometimes a site is heavily customized, uses a proprietary theme, or hides obvious references. Use a quick checklist, similar to a HubSpot troubleshooting flow, to narrow things down:

  • Confirm the site is actually running WordPress (look for /wp-content/ in source code or URLs).
  • Check the page source again for alternate theme paths or renamed directories.
  • Look at the site footer for theme or developer credits.
  • Search for unique CSS class names on Google; they might be tied to a known theme or builder.
  • Inspect if the site is built on a page builder such as Elementor, Divi, or WPBakery, then search for common theme pairings.

Best Practices for Selecting a Theme to Use with HubSpot

Once you know which theme a site uses, evaluate it carefully before adopting it for a project that also relies on HubSpot assets and data.

Key criteria

  • Performance: Check speed and Core Web Vitals, so you do not undermine conversion data flowing into HubSpot reports.
  • Responsiveness: Confirm excellent mobile layouts, since many HubSpot campaigns target mobile users.
  • SEO-friendliness: Ensure clean markup and schema support to complement any SEO work you do in HubSpot.
  • Integration: Verify it works smoothly with your forms, analytics scripts, and any embedded HubSpot CTAs.
  • Support and updates: Choose themes with active development and regular security fixes.
