How to know what URL the browser was before it got redirected to my page

So if example123.com have a:

window.location = "mysite.com";

OR user clicked

<a href="mysite.com">go to my site</a>

OR ANY OTHER METHOD OF REDIRECTING

IF I'M ON mysite.com How will I know that it came from example123.com?

Solution

  • document.referrer seems to do the job for me.
