Heavy pages
Design-first pages ship large images and fonts. On a phone that is the difference between a site that feels instant and one that does not.
Was this site built with Framer? How to tell
Visual builder, not an AI builder · default hosting *.framer.website
Framer is a visual builder with AI features, not an AI builder: a person designs the page and the tool ships it. Our scanner treats it that way, so a Framer site is reported as "Likely AI-assisted" at most, never as AI-built on the hosting signal alone.
It identifies itself clearly, through a generator meta tag and its own asset hosts.
The verdict and the evidence are free. The improvement report needs a free account.
How to check it yourself
No tools needed- Search the page source for a generator meta tag naming
Framer. - Look for assets loaded from
framerusercontent.com. - Check the address: published projects live on
*.framer.websiteuntil a custom domain is attached.

Questions
Why is Framer not reported as AI-built?
Because a Framer site is the output of a person using a design tool. Reporting it as machine-generated would be wrong, so a Framer fingerprint alone never produces that verdict.
