You do realize that to do this dynamically you are going to have to get the html content of a page (probably the home page) from each site and then analyze it ?

i try this, but the many page of the same type such as VBB, but the HTML code is different.i find difference in Head tag.

Thats how you do it. Find the elements specific to the type you're searching for and ignore the rest. But I don't think you can find what is behind HTML page, just as it is hard to know if something is HTML/jQuery, HTML/MVC or HTML/PHP.
