How new is any website?
Fisher for Chrome puts the age of any site one click away. Open a page and see how many days ago it launched, the platform it runs, and, for the new stores and businesses Fisher tracks, who to reach and which sites just launched like it. Free, and it works on every website you open.
What it is
Most tools tell you the technology a website runs. Fisher leads with something no one else puts front and centre: how new the site is. Every domain has a registration date, so Fisher can show the age of any website you visit, from a store that launched six days ago to a company that has been around for six years.
That matters because new businesses are the ones still choosing their tools, their agency and their stack. Store Leads and similar tools refresh their database on a weekly crawl, so a site that launched this week may not show up for days. Fisher is built the other way around: it catches sites the week they go live, across both online stores and service businesses, and the extension is that live view in your browser.
On any website: age and platform
Click the Fisher icon on any page and the first thing you see is the site’s age, read from public domain records. Under it, the platform Fisher detects live on the page. This works everywhere, not just on stores, so you can size up a competitor, a lead or a prospect in a single glance.
On a tracked store: the full profile
When the site is one of the new stores or businesses Fisher already tracks, the popup lights up. The age becomes a live launch readout, and you get the platform, country, site type, niche, product count and status, all confirmed, with no research on your side.
A second tab holds the founder contact for tracked stores: the public business email and the social profiles Fisher found, so you can open the conversation while the launch is still warm. Contacts are part of Fisher’s paid plans.
New ones like it
The last tab is the view no weekly-refresh tool can build: a live list of other sites on the same platform that just launched. Land on one new Shopify store and Fisher shows you the next ten, freshly live, ranked newest first. One new lead becomes a whole page of them.
Platforms it detects
Fisher reads the platform live from the page you are on, so it works even on sites it has never seen before. It recognises the platforms new businesses actually launch on:
The age readout, however, does not depend on the platform. Because it comes from the domain’s public registration record, Fisher can tell you how new any site is, whatever it is built on.
Install it
Setup takes under a minute.
- Open the Fisher extension on the Chrome Web Store.
- Click Add to Chrome and confirm.
- Pin Fisher to your toolbar so it is always one click away.
- Open any website and click the Fisher icon to see how new it is.
The extension is in final review with the Chrome Web Store and goes live shortly. In the meantime, the same live data powers the Fisher feed.
Privacy and data
Fisher uses public data only. To detect the platform it reads the page you are actively looking at; to show the age it asks Fisher for the domain’s public registration date. That is it.
It does not read your other tabs, it does not track your browsing, and it never sells your activity. The contact details it shows on tracked stores are public business details, the same kind a company publishes on its own site.
Questions, answered
Is the Fisher extension free?
Yes. Installing it is free, and it shows the age and platform of any website you open. The deeper profile data comes from Fisher's feed of new stores and businesses.
How does it know how old a website is?
Every domain has a public registration date. Fisher reads it from RDAP, the public successor to WHOIS, and shows it as an age. No login and no private data are used.
Does it work on any website, or only stores?
Any website. The age and detected platform show on every site you open. The full profile, founder contact and similar new sites appear on the stores and businesses Fisher already tracks.
Which platforms can it detect?
Shopify, WooCommerce, WordPress, Wix, Squarespace, BigCommerce, Magento, PrestaShop, OpenCart, Big Cartel, Ecwid, Webflow and more, read live on the page.
Is it private and safe?
Yes. It reads the page you are on to detect the platform and asks Fisher for the public age of the domain. It uses public data only, never reads your other tabs, and never sells your browsing.
How is this different from Store Leads or Wappalyzer?
Those tell you the tech a site runs. Fisher leads with how fresh a site is, on any website, and hands you the ones that launched this week, across both online stores and service businesses.
