What is an HTTP referer?
The HTTP referer header tells a website where the visitor came from. It is often used in analytics, ad tracking, redirect flows, affiliate testing, and debugging privacy behaviour. Some browsers, extensions, redirects, and privacy settings strip or reduce this value.
Click a link to this page from Google, social media, your own website, or a test redirect.
Check whether the referer was preserved, changed, trimmed, or completely blanked out.
Use the result to validate analytics, troubleshoot tracking, or test controlled traffic sources with FakeReferer.
