Free tool

Can you take your website with you?

Type in your address. We tell you what it is built on, what you own and what you would lose if you left. It reads public facts only, and there is no sign-up.

We read your home page and your sitemap, nothing else. We keep the address you checked, and nobody hears from us unless you ask.

What each platform lets you take

The short version, from each platform's own help pages. Follow a link for the steps.

Wix

The site cannot move. Wix says it has to run on its servers. Your data exports piece by piece.

Export from Wix

Squarespace

One XML file with part of the site. Your design and many page types are left out.

Export from Squarespace

Shopify

Store data exports by CSV. A theme downloads, but it is a design reference and not a portable site.

Export from Shopify

Webflow

Code export on paid Workspace plans. CMS content, forms and search do not work in the copy.

Export from Webflow

WordPress

The most portable of the group. Content exports as XML, and self-hosted sites hold every file.

Export from WordPress

GoDaddy builder

We found no export, and its agreement bars moving the site to another host.

About the check

Is it really free?

Yes. There is no sign-up and no email address to give. There is a limit on checks per hour from one connection so the tool stays fast for everyone.

How do you know what my site is built on?

Platforms leave fingerprints in the page they serve, such as their generator tag, their file addresses and their response headers. If we are not sure, we say so.

Can I check a site that is not mine?

Yes, the check reads public facts only. We only ever rebuild a site for its owner.

Still have questions? Call the office or send us your site and a person will take a look.
