# Method name:

siteWindow.referrer()

# Method Link:

https://dev.wix.com/docs/sdk/frontend-modules/window/referrer.md

# Method Description:

Gets the HTTP referrer header field.

The `referrer` is the address of the web page a site visitor was previously
 on before arriving at the current page, typically by clicking a link.

 > **Note:** When site visitors move from page to page in a site, the `referrer` property
 does not contain the address of the page the site visitor came from. This is because
 Wix sites are built as [single page applications](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single-page_application).
 To get the previous page a site visitor was visiting in a site, you can
 use the Storage APIs to store the visitor's current page
 and retrieve the visitor's previous page.
