What Magento is
Magento is a self-hosted PHP commerce platform, sold by Adobe as Adobe Commerce and also maintained as open source. Unlike Shopify, the merchant or an agency runs the servers, so a Magento detection identifies the application and leaves hosting to be determined separately.
How DNSTrace.dev detects it
Detection reads the final HTTPS response and the first bytes of its markup. One matching signal is reported as strong evidence; two or more independent signals are reported as confirmed.
/static/version<number>/frontend/ in markup— The versioned static asset path Magento generates for deployed frontend files.Magento_ module prefixes in markup— Module names that appear in the page's JavaScript configuration.PHPSESSID or a Magento session cookie— Supporting evidence for the underlying PHP application.
What a detection proves
The storefront was rendered by Magento or Adobe Commerce.
What it does not prove
Which edition, version or hosting arrangement is in use, or whether the store is on Adobe's managed cloud. The version number in the static path is a deployment counter, not a Magento release number.
Common questions
Is Adobe Commerce detected differently from open-source Magento?
No. They share the same asset structure, so DNSTrace.dev reports Magento and does not attempt to distinguish the edition.
What does the number in /static/version.../ mean?
It is a cache-busting deployment counter that increases each time static content is redeployed. It does not identify the software version.
