Who copied my site?
Paste your website address. We read your pages, search the web for your sentences and photos, and show you which other pages carry them, and how much of your page they took.
Usually done in a minute or two. Five checks an hour per connection.

How the check works
A sentence finds the page. The word count tells you if it matters.
- 01
We read your site
Up to ten of your pages, the way a search engine would. We set aside menus, footers and anything repeated on every page.
- 02
We pick what only you wrote
Your most unusual sentences and your own photos. A sentence like "contact us today" would match half the web, so it is never used.
- 03
We search for them
Each sentence and photo goes to Google. Any other site that comes back is a page to look at, nothing more yet.
- 04
We measure every match
We open each page again, confirm your words are still there and count how many of them it carries, in the same order. For the bigger ones we also check public dates and whether they credit you.
Reading your results
Three grades, set by how much was copied.
Not by how many sentences matched. A page that repeats one of your lines is a different thing from a page that carries most of your article, and the grade says which.
Half or more of one of your pages, or 1,000+ of your words.
100 or more of your words, or one of your photos (the same file).
Under 100 of your words. A sentence or two is usually not enough to act on.
A grade can only go down after the checks: if their page looks older, if they credit you, or if the text came from an About, press or product page (text that is often shared with permission), you will see the reason under the result.
What it cannot see
An empty result is not a clean bill.
The check is as good as what search engines show. These slip past it:
- Pages Google has not indexed, or ranks too low to show.
- Text behind a login, a paywall or a members area.
- Copies that were reworded heavily. The check counts your words in your order.
- Photos that were cropped, recoloured or edited. Only the same file is matched.
- Pages of yours beyond the first ten it reads.

Questions
Before you run it.
Is it really free?
Yes. No account, no card, and no email unless you choose to ask for help with what it finds. To keep it that way, each connection can run five checks an hour.
Does a match mean they copied me?
Not on its own. They may have permission, they may be quoting you, or they may have published first. A match tells you where to look. Read the page, and check the dates, before you contact anyone.
Why is a page with my sentence marked Possible?
Because one or two sentences are usually not enough to act on. Short phrases are rarely protected on their own, so we only call a match Likely from 100 of your words, or from one of your photos.
How does it decide who published first?
It looks at when the Internet Archive first saw each page, the publish date each page states about itself, and when their domain was registered. None of these is proof, so we show where every date came from.
What happens to my results?
They are kept for 14 days so you can come back to them, then deleted. We do not sell them and we do not email you unless you ask us to.
Can you get the copies taken down?
You can do it yourself, and our guide walks through it. If you would rather have help, leave your email under your results and a person will reply. Nobody can guarantee a removal: the host of the page decides.
