Worked examples

The detectors do not know whose page they are reading, so the fairest thing we can do is publish the results. These are 28 public homepages — some obviously hand-built, some obviously generated, most sitting in the uncomfortable middle — run through the same scan you get on the front page. Fetched 29 August 2026.

A high score is not an accusation. Plenty of these were built by large teams who chose a popular stack on purpose. The number measures how much a page looks like the default output of the current toolchain — nothing more.
