    As the title says can you spot a 301 redirect to your website ?
    If someone makes a 301 redirect directly to your site can I find out what site is redirecting to me?

    Hi,

    For your web server, there is no difference between a hit coming from a redirect and a regular direct hit.

    The only way to find out is to check your referrers, to visit these referring pages and search for the link to your page there and see if the link is redirected or not.
