do I have to add this in the header of my sites

[jlinkz]

I'm a little confused so sorry for asking a stupid question, my site is "https" and I want to trade with a site that on the trade page says

If you use HTTPS add in header in your site the code !!!

Code: Select all

<meta name="referrer" content="unsafe-url">

Is this okay to add, or will it hurt my Google. Plus I trade with other "https" sites, how will it affect them?

Yes it can help not hurt your trades

Had no idea about this, happy to have come to the forum today. I will get it up on the sites I do trades with.

Depending on the script in question.

well I be ..... that is not on my sites and the hits get counted fine, it has to do i what script you utilize for trading.

By default, if your site uses https and so does the script, the url will be sent as a referrer, same thing with http -> http.
If one is on https and sent to http, that referrer will not be sent since it is being sent to a less secure destination. (default value is no-referrer-when-downgrade)

To make this work in https -> http situations, you have to set it to unsafe-url because that sends a full url to both same and cross origin requests.

I don't think it works for Safari, tho..

Looking at that Moz link I posted before can also explain all of the no referrers or origin only that people seem to get confused about. :p

Any downside for seo by adding this code?

Less code on a page = best

If you do not need it (or any other code) do not add it.

I'll drink to the less code idea

I have never added it and my script works right
