"textContent": "Intrestingly you’re not the first person recently to come to the forum with this exact request.\n\nHere was admin’s answer to the other person\n\nInfinityFree ?i=1 Causing Direct Traffic / Referrer Loss Hosting Support\n\n> In short: no, there is no way to solve this. The security challenge does a redirect with Javascript, and there is no way to preserve the original referrer with a Javascript redirect. The referrer header will be set to the page that generated the redirect, which will be your own site. I recognize that this will cause problems for analytics. Unfortunately, the security challenge is not optional, and there is no way to solve this with the security challenge in place.\n\nThat answer isn’t going to change, because its actually not possible to preserve the original referrer through the redirect. The way the servers work, it literally cannot be done.\n\nI agree it would be amazing if it could, but at the present time its just not possible.",
