What it shows

Inspect

The global variables and functions the page added to window, in the page and in its iframes, including cross-origin ones. Open any object, call a function with your own arguments, or change a value.

Frameworks

The JavaScript and CSS frameworks the page uses, with their versions: 191 JavaScript and 141 CSS detectors, each one tested against the real library. Each shows when that version came out and what the latest is.
