How we detect wpcom
Five-vector detection — /wp-content/plugins/wpcom/ asset paths, /wp-json/ REST API namespaces, HTML signature patterns, sitemap XML comments, and asset-probe HEAD requests against the top-100 popular plugins on wordpress.org. Each detected plugin carries provenance pills showing which sources corroborated it — cross-vector matches indicate high-confidence detections. More on how detection works.
