Google Chrome - vanity url being hit multiple times

I have a vanity url such as
www.mycompanyname-survey.com
which does a redirect to
www.mycompanyname-survey.com/survey/page1

If I submit data on the first page, it then goes to www.mycompanyname-survey.com/survey/page2. However, when I do this Chrome, I see that each time I submit data to my server, it is also hitting the vanity domain www.mycompanyname-survey.com as well. (I don't see this from my Chrome network traffic, but my servers network traffic.)

When I use Firefox, it's not hitting the base vanity domain. Is there some reason Chrome is doing this and anyway to stop it?

Solution

  • This was happening because I had no favicon defined and so Chrome was redirecting to the base domain.
