What Statamic is
Statamic is a content management system built on Laravel. It can store content in flat files rather than a database, which makes it common for sites that keep content in version control. Because it runs on Laravel, both can be visible on the same response.
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.
x-powered-by naming Statamic— Declared by the application unless the header is stripped.
What a detection proves
The response was produced by Statamic.
What it does not prove
Whether it runs flat-file or database storage, or which Laravel version underlies it.
Common questions
Does a Statamic detection imply Laravel?
In practice yes, because Statamic is a Laravel application, but DNSTrace.dev only reports Laravel when Laravel's own signals appear.
Why is no version reported?
The header carries the product name only.
