I tried it minutes ago, nice tool!

I tried it with some WordPress based websites and it is not showing
the usernames but the display name. Did you wanted to get the display
name?
If you expected to get the username, you can find it by parsing the
head section of the html source code, the username is usually inside
an href tag preceded by '/author/'.

Hope it's useful!
