Clues if a site is run by magento

No 1
right click on the page and click view-page -source

if you find several "/skin/frontend/" the site might be run by magento
or if you  /skin/frontend/default/default it means probably they have played around with default theme...

No 2
in chrome or firefox (i think you have to install firbug in chrome nothing is needed to do the inspace element)







notice in the Resources -> Cookies section theres frontend attribute

disable Cookies in the browser the site will respond to enable Cookies and what are Cookies :)

No 3
right after magento site url that is after the index.php (eg: www.shoesales.com/index.php) add a slash and admin www.shoesales.com/index.php/admin if it takes you to admin panel logi screen definitely the site is run by magento..











you can change the admin url via admin panel but please be careful. backup before you do anything magento also values to database tables.
