When I started using this extension it was really amazing. The results were truly accurate. But now it is just confused. It shows any WordPress website is probably built on Shopify by mentioning 50% sure on every WordPress website I am testing it. This is really disappointing when a good plugin stops working as good as before and now I have to find other alternatives which give accurate results.
