Nuxt Detector
Paste any URL and instantly see whether the site is built with Nuxt — with the matched evidence.
We do not store the URL you audit. Want the full audit (performance / images / SEO / accessibility + real-browser speed test)? → run the full audit
Why check this
Confirm the platform first: Framework decides what can be changed and whether it is worth it.
What this is
Nuxt is a Vue-based full-stack framework. Content sites and marketing front ends use it for SSR and SSG. Confirming `/_nuxt/` and `__NUXT__` tells you whether hydration cost, route-level splitting or the image module is hurting LCP. Vue teams pick it for SSR ergonomics; auditors pick the `/_nuxt/` path as hard evidence.
How to tell from a public page
- [Nuxt] Static or build asset paths include `/_nuxt/`.
- [Nuxt] Pages expose a `__NUXT__` state payload.
- [Nuxt] Markup or runtime leaves `nuxt-link` traces.
- [Nuxt] Build manifests or module scripts follow default framework naming.
How to read the result
Confirm when build paths or state payloads reproduce; a job description naming Vue/Nuxt does not qualify. Absence can mean a fully static export with rewritten asset prefixes. Docs sites that embed sample HTML explain stray fingerprints. After a hit, inspect client plugins and oversized JSON payloads first.
What to do next
Cut client plugins, enable route-level splitting, and tune the image module. Hosting often lands on Vercel — open Vercel detector. Complete the wider vitals pass on run the full performance / images / SEO / accessibility audit on the home page. Note which `/_nuxt/` path fired for the framework owners.

FAQ
How is Nuxt detected?
From structural signatures in the public HTML and response headers (domains, paths, attributes, scripts). Every verdict lists how many times each pattern matched — nothing is guessed.
Can the result be wrong?
If only a bare brand keyword matches without structural evidence, we label it \u201clikely\u201d instead of \u201cconfirmed\u201d — we would rather under-report than cry wolf.
Do you save the URLs I check?
No. The audit runs inside the request and the URL you paste is not written to storage. There are no third-party tracking scripts on the page either, so no log of who checked what exists. Copy the result yourself if you want a record.
Can a website hide what it is built with?
Partly, but rarely completely. The HTML sent to your browser, the response headers, script paths and asset structure have to be exposed to work, so there is always something readable. Server-side code, build config and private APIs stay invisible. That is why this tool reports the evidence it found rather than claiming a full picture. No match does not mean the technology is absent.
