Comment (by iandunn):

 I'm guessing they're not intentionally trying to hide it, they just aren't
 generating the header with WP, so they would have had to think to
 explicitly add it.

 @petya, what's the reason WP is running on a different domain than the
 front-end?

 I don't see anything in the front-end source code or HTTP headers that we
 could use to programmatically determine the site is running on WP.

 Matt mentioned a similar issue in the 2015 State of the Word, because
 sites like this will also be skipped by W3Tech stats. He wondering about
 creating some kind of standard header/meta tag/etc, so maybe that's what
 we need here too.
