Referrers

A referrer is the web page or domain a visitor came from before clicking your short link. It’s automatically passed by the browser and helps identify valuable partnerships or placements.


Analytics

Why it matters

  • Understand which sites or articles drive traffic.
  • Spot uncredited mentions or backlinks.
  • Validate campaign placements and publisher reports.

Limitations

Some browsers and privacy settings block referrer sharing, especially from HTTPS → HTTP or private modes. Missing referrers are often labeled “Direct.”
