— short, practical follow-up to the earlier replies from and : there are reliable, non-invasive ways to identify what a site uses, and a clear architecture pattern to build a YouTube-style AJAX/video page.

Quick ways to identify tech (do these in order): use browser DevTools to inspect loaded JS files and DOM attributes (look for framework-specific attributes or source-map hints), check response headers and cookies with a simple HEAD request to reveal server or framework headers, and run an automated detector if you want a fast answer. Example header check:

curl -I https://example.com

Look for Server, X-Powered-By, or session cookie names (they often hint at the backend). Tools like Wappalyzer can automate detection for you (Wappalyzer).

If the goal is to build a full-AJAX video page, use an API-first model: keep the UI as a client app (React, Vue, or Angular) talking to a JSON API on the server. React (or Next.js for server-side rendering) is a common choice for fast client navigation and SEO-friendly rendering (React). Use the Fetch API or a lightweight client to get metadata and update the page without full reloads (Using Fetch).

Practical implementation notes: use the HTML5 video element with adaptive streaming (HLS/DASH) or a player lib, lazy-load thumbnails and scripts, prefetch metadata on hover, and update URLs with the History API so links remain shareable. For SEO/performance, either server-render the initial view or pre-render critical metadata. Choice of backend (Node/Express, Django, ASP.NET Core, or PHP frameworks) should match team familiarity — Ajax patterns are the same across platforms, so pick the stack you can iterate fastest.

I can't really tell what framework their using. I would assume either PHP or ASP.NET MVC.

For me Ajax is easier with ASP.NET, but that's mostly because I learned Ajax through .NET.

Use view source and you should see .php links... If you try to enter an invalid URL, you would see a link to support with .php in it.

view source doesn't show link extensions, just paths, which is why I mentioned ASP.NET MVC.

If you go to their support page, then view source, one of the links has a query string on it, and has a .php extension, so it's PHP based.
