I don't think there is any way to find this. Some website develop their control panel for their need. Some don't even use any control panels.

Well if the website is loading quick it mean that its good optimised and used any cdn service, any cpanels works in its way but to work better for our websites it need to be optimised.
You can try to connect with panels port on visited sites, i.e: www.site.com/cpanel (is for whm cPanel) www.site.com:2222 (for directadmin) www.site.com:4643 (for plesk) etc. Hope it helps.

The issue is many hosts use modern APIs and Proxy to hide what control panel they are using. You could always create a php to check for the existence of files like /usr/local/cpanel/version to see if they are running cPanel. You may not be able to read the version file, but should easily be able to tell if its there or not with a little creativity you can find these for the popular control panels.

If you can check some ports or address to see if the website use a control panel, a lot of servers are setup without any control panels and it will probably not give you what is the server configuration.
With a good server, almost all websites should load quickly with a control panel like cPanel or Plesk. The most part of the optimization is done on the website.

Hello ,
If you just want to see the panel details through browser then it you may check it by using default ports used by panels like example.com/whm for Cpanel , example.com:8083 for vestacp panel , etc.

Yes, the OP can use these to find out which control panel the website is using.

Apart from this:

Control panel have littile to no affect on loading speed of the website. If the website is loading quick in a browser means, their developers and system admins have worked well and optimized it to best possible speeds. Control panel have nothing to do with website load time.

Hope it clears your query, Thanks

Some hosts tend to have cPanel login page located at cpanel.yourdomain.com - so you might want to check that out as well.
