It's impossible to know if a website runs on WordPress just by it's looks. But whatever your reasons are to find out, here are two ways to know if a website was built using WordPress.

Yes, you guessed right! To do this, simply visit the homepage of the website and add "/wp-admin" at the end of the website's url in your browser's address bar as seen below;
If the next page it opens up is a login screen, then the website is definitely powered by WordPress. Sometimes the url would redirect to www.example.com/wp-login.php/?=xxxx .
If the URL returns a 404 error, it simply means the website is not powered by WordPress.
#2 Wp-content, Wp-includes In Source Code
