Has anyone experienced a situation where after migrating a WordPress site to Webflow and connecting the domain from GoDaddy, BuiltWith still shows WordPress as the CMS instead of Webflow?

Yes, it is possible to encounter such a situation where BuiltWith continues to show WordPress as the CMS after migrating a WordPress site to Webflow and connecting the domain from GoDaddy. There could be a few reasons why this might occur.

1. Cached Data: BuiltWith often relies on cached data, which means it might take some time for the tool to update its records. Even though you have migrated your site and connected the domain correctly, BuiltWith may still display outdated information. In this case, you can wait for BuiltWith to refresh its data, which usually happens over a period of time.

2. DNS Propagation: When you connect your domain from GoDaddy to Webflow, it involves changing the DNS (Domain Name System) settings. DNS propagation is the process where these changes are disseminated across the internet. It usually takes up to 48 hours for DNS changes to propagate fully. During this propagation period, BuiltWith might still consider the old DNS information and associate it with the previous CMS, i.e., WordPress. Once the DNS propagation is complete, BuiltWith should reflect the correct information.

3. Subdomain Configuration: If you have set up your Webflow site on a subdomain (e.g., blog.yourdomain.com) rather than the main domain (yourdomain.com), BuiltWith might still recognize the WordPress installation on the main domain. Ensure that you have correctly configured the DNS settings for the subdomain and connected it to Webflow. This way, BuiltWith will recognize Webflow as the CMS on the subdomain.

It's worth mentioning that BuiltWith is an external third-party tool, and its accuracy depends on various factors, including the frequency of updates and the method it uses to detect CMS platforms. Therefore, it is possible that BuiltWith may not immediately reflect the changes you have made. To verify the CMS of your website, you can also check within your Webflow project settings or inspect the source code for Webflow-specific markup and classes.

If you have correctly migrated your site and connected the domain in Webflow, and everything is functioning as expected, you can rest assured that your website is indeed powered by Webflow, irrespective of what external tools like BuiltWith may currently report.
