Detecting the type of CMS of a website

The bla bla part

 

As a web engineer and web developer I always wanted to know the technology which were used at a particular site. My personal solution was to dig into the source code and find some specific pattern which tells me that a site is made in Drupal for example. My problem was that it takes time, and I can't recognize every CMS, maybe the just the most common ones. So here are some solutions what I found:

3. Chrome Sniffer:
