    Does the referrer match the request exactly? If so, it will redirect. I would imagine your referrer doesn’t match. Note that referrer information may not be sent by a browser.

    So the whole url needs to be added to the referer?
    https://www.example.co.uk?

    Note that referrer information may not be sent by a browser.

    So it might be that one browser picks the referrer info and another one not?
    Might be a bit unreliable to use this option then.

    Do you perhaps have a .htaccess line that could do this for me?
    I’ve been looking around for this but I haven’t found a working code for this matter.

    Thank you for your help so far,
    Joris

    A .htaccess file won’t make the referrer information any more reliable – it’s the same data.

    You can find a bit more information on referrers, things that may stop it being sent, and possible values here:
