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

Question

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?

Checke the [referer request header](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/Referer) on your server for incoming requests — empiric, Oct 21 '20 at 10:47
Please **carefully** check the tags you are using: [tag:location] seems **massively** unsuitable and [tag:dom] doesn't fit either. — Quentin, Oct 21 '20 at 10:56

document.referrer seems to do the job for me.
