What is a Referring page in Quality Assurance (QA)?
Summary
A referring page is a website page that links to the page you are inspecting. In Quality Assurance (QA), referring pages help you identify which internal pages link to a particular page, making it easier to manage links and avoid creating broken links when pages are removed.
Answer
A Referring page is a website page that links to the page you are inspecting. A referring page is in some cases described as the parent and the page it links to is called the child.
QA shows internal referrers, i.e. pages that are part of the same website as the inspected page. They are usually on the same domain. To avoid broken links, you can edit the links on the referring parent pages before removing the child page from the website.
Information on external referring pages in Analytics is available in the article: How are Traffic Sources defined in Analytics?
