Over 200 WordPress plugins and themes camouflaged

Yoast SEO, Elementor, WooCommerce, WP Rocket, Astra and about a hundred more: what the free version removes, what Pro adds, what stays visible.

A WordPress site often gives itself away through its plugins: a generator tag, a signed HTML comment, a /wp-content/plugins/plugin-name/ URL. Detectors such as Wappalyzer, BuiltWith or WPScan only need one of these clues. WP Masquerade knows the public traces of 250 of the most installed and best-selling plugins and themes: for each one, here is what the free version removes, what Pro removes on top of that, and what stays visible. The free version handles the 50 most common plugins and themes; Pro handles over 200 (250 entries in the list, some grouping a plugin and its premium edition).

The list, plugin by plugin

Search for a plugin by its name or folder, filter by category, or show only the 50 common plugins of the free version, or the ones Pro adds. Click a column header to sort the list. Technical names (variables, classes, cookies) are given exactly as detectors read them. A name in blue, followed by an arrow, opens the plugin’s profile: overview, strengths and limitations, recommended settings and masking details. Profiles are being published progressively.

How the camouflage works

  1. Free version, from level 1 of the Identity module. WP Masquerade first turns on each plugin’s official setting when one exists (Yoast SEO, Rank Math, All in One SEO, Elementor, LiteSpeed Cache...), then an output filter removes generator tags, signed HTML comments, the brand class of the JSON-LD block, branded HTTP headers sent by PHP and version numbers slipped into the page’s classes (Astra; WPBakery with Pro). Details on the WordPress technical links page.
  2. Pro, file URLs. File URL aliases replace /wp-content/plugins/ and /wp-content/themes/ with neutral URLs, each one checked before it is turned on.
  3. Pro, per-plugin camouflage. One switch per detected plugin: its folder gets a neutral six-character name, so do the folders of generated files (uploads/elementor, uploads/hummingbird-assets...), and the IDs of its style and script tags are renamed (astra-theme-css becomes k7q2xa-theme-css).

Masking applies to visitors and to logged-in customers. The site team (administrators, editors, authors) sees the pages unchanged, so they can work. To choose the software announced instead of WordPress, see imitating another CMS.

What a detector measures, before and after

We ran Wappalyzer’s public rules (community version) on two sets of pages: a test page that reproduces the real markup of the plugins in this list, and a test site on which 40 plugins and one theme from the list were installed at the same time, then uninstalled.

ConfigurationTest pageReal test site
No masking21 technologies detected, including WordPress15 technologies, including WordPress
Free version, Identity level 21712
Pro: file URL aliases level 3 and camouflage of all plugins5, WordPress is no longer detected4, WordPress is no longer detected
With Pro, what remained was WooCommerce (its CSS classes), the block editor’s wp-block-* classes, Ninja Forms (a JavaScript variable), AddToAny (script served by the vendor) and, on the test page, Gravity Forms and Borlabs Cookie (classes, banner ID). All 146 stylesheets and scripts of the test site loaded normally.

What stays visible, and why

  • JavaScript variables, CSS classes, cookies, REST routes: the plugin’s scripts and stylesheets read them by name. Renaming them would break the plugin, so WP Masquerade never touches them.
  • Files served by the vendor (static.addtoany.com, js.stripe.com, cdn.weglot.com...): they come from the vendor’s servers, out of reach of a plugin.
  • Headers added by the server or by a cache (LiteSpeed, SiteGround, NitroPack, Breeze, Hummingbird when the page comes from the cache): they are added before or after WordPress, and some of them control the cache.
  • Pages already cached before activation: they keep their traces until the cache is purged. Breeze writes its comment into its cache file with no setting to remove it.
  • Commercial plugins (Gravity Forms, Avada, WPBakery, Slider Revolution, MemberPress, LearnDash, Borlabs Cookie...): their traces are taken from the vendor’s documentation and from detector rules, as the “Checked” column shows.

Camouflage makes automatic detection much harder, it does not make a site invisible. Keep your plugins up to date: that is the protection that matters most against a known vulnerability.

Your plugin is not in the list?

It is still handled. The free version removes the generator tags of any plugin and HTML comments that carry a known brand name. The Identity tab shows every active plugin on your site with what stays visible, and Pro’s camouflage also works for a plugin that is not in the list: its folder and the IDs of its tags are renamed the same way.

A list updated between releases

Plugins change folders, comments and tags from one version to the next, and new popular plugins appear. With Pro, the catalogue no longer depends on plugin releases alone: new entries and fixes are published on our license server, signed, then downloaded by each site with an active license during its daily check, or right away with the “Check for catalogue updates” button in the Identity tab.

Each update is checked again on your site before it is used; an invalid, older or badly signed response never replaces the last valid version. Entries of the free version are never replaced, only completed. Without an active license, the catalogue shipped with the plugin stays the only one in use.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to change my plugins’ settings?

No. WP Masquerade turns on each plugin’s official setting itself while public pages are displayed, without changing your saved settings. Just purge your caches after activation.

Can the camouflage break a plugin?

JavaScript variables, CSS classes, cookies and file contents are never modified. Folder renaming is only turned on after each new URL has been checked successfully. If a plugin feature stops working (slider, form, popup), turn off its camouflage switch: the rest of the site keeps its protection.

What does “checked on version” mean?

It is the plugin version on which its traces were recorded: installed on a test site with its public pages read, or source code read, or the vendor’s documentation for commercial plugins. A newer version may add a trace; the list is updated along with WP Masquerade and, with Pro, between releases.

Why does my browser still show a plugin’s comments?

When you are logged in as an administrator, you see the site without masking. Check in a private browsing window, after purging the caches.
