It's not a given for any of those products. It's trivial to remove the
WordPress links from the footer. You may have a better chance by looking at
the meta tags. However, even that can be removed from Joomla/WP sites.

There are certain tell-tale signs. Look for common Joomla css 
definitions, or code, or errors in code.

You can quickly look in the code for three or four things, if they are 
all there, then you know you have a Joomla site:

class="mainlevel" -- look around the main navigation area.

pathway -- this is the div that contains the breadcrumbs if there are 
any on page.

contentpaneopen or moduletable -- these are tabled containers that are 
deep in the core code. Even on very custom sites, you'll see these classes.

I'm not sure this is possible? When a site is made with Wordpress you can 
see it at the bottom and when it's made with Typo3 you can see it in the 
code. But where do you see it on joomla sites?

Hi Tine - Not immediately - if there's any you want to copy and save, 
they'll still be available for a few days.
