How to bypass SEO redirection?

If you need to bypass SEO redirection while working on your project, there are two options you can do:

  1. Using the URL parameter: geo=false
  2. Using REQUEST parameter: stop_redirection with value (boolean) true

Both parameters are intended to prevent SEO redirection while you are on a particular page.

Example:

If you have a site called sometestsite.com (for example) and you want to prevent redirection from its pages, you can do the following:

https://sometestsite.com?geo=false
https://sometestsite.com?product=shues&id=123&geo=false

The same thing you can do with the REQUEST parameter:

https://sometestsite.com?stop_redirection=true
https://sometestsite.com?product=shues&id=123&stop_redirection=true

The main difference between geo and stop_redirection properties is that geo is available only using GET request and stop_redirection is available via the REQUEST header and can also be used via POST requests and cookies.
