A referrer tells you where someone came from before they visited your website. It could be a search result, another website's domain, or a social media platform.

Let's say a person looks something up on Google. In the results, they see a link to one of your web pages. They decide to click it. Google would be considered the "referrer" in that case because it's the source that referred the visitor to you.

The same idea applies if someone reaches your site from a different website or social network. Maybe they spot your link while browsing around online and choose to check it out. Wherever they were right before heading to your site - that's the referrer.

Referrers give you helpful information. They show you how people are finding your website. With those insights, you can figure out what sources send the most visitors your way. You'll know if you're getting a lot of traffic from search engines, social media, or other sites linking to yours. Pretty handy for understanding how people discover your content across the web!
