Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between jQuery and PHP?

jQuery is an UI or JavaScript library (Fast, small, and feature-rich JavaScript library), while PHP is a programming language (Server-side scripting language). They sit in different categories (UI Library and Language), so they can also be used together.

Can a website use both jQuery and PHP?

Yes. Tech Stack Detector detects each technology independently when you scan a site, so a single page can report both jQuery and PHP when both are present.
