if someone has removed all the information that would give a direct indication of it in the display code, or in comments, or if they have changed the look enough with css.. then i dont see how you could know without recognizing something about it that is unique to a particular cms. its not like there is a mandatory requirement for any individual or cms developer to always disclose such.

If you look at the source some sites are obvious as they include things like "wp" (wordpress) in the stylesheet url etc.

That is pretty easy, the footer of the page says "Powered by vBulletin® Version 3.7.3".

Well you cant always tell - all you can do is look through the source code for clues
