How can I see if a site is made by GWT or not?
In other words, how can I understand that a site is using GWT and what are the special features that are only in GWT and not in JS?

If you want to know if a site is using GWT, inspect the HTTP requests using FireBug, HTTPWatch, etc. If you see a file called
<module name>.nocache.js– that is a clear sign the site has a GWT module in it. That file is the GWT bootloader script.There is always the option that the site is compiled with GWT, but used indirectly in deploy-time so that you never see the GWT bootloading. But from my experience this is a rare case.
Regarding “special features” – your question doesn’t really make sense. GWT is a framework which compiles (a subset of) Java into HTML and JS files.
