What is a fake referer and how does it work?

A fake referer is a modified HTTP referrer header that masks the true source of web traffic. referer.uk allows you to change your referer to appear as if traffic comes from Google, LinkedIn, Twitter/X, or any custom source, protecting your actual traffic sources from networks and competitors.

Is using a blank referer detectable?

A blank referer (no referrer header) appears as direct traffic to networks. This is completely normal and occurs naturally in many browsing scenarios. referer.uk ensures your blank referer appears legitimate while maintaining your tracking parameters.

Can I change referer for different traffic sources?

Yes, referer.uk allows you to set different referrer headers for different networks or campaigns. You can show Google as the referer to one network and LinkedIn to another, all while protecting your real traffic sources.
