Is getting redirected once any cause for concern?

[QUOTE="Gogeta, post: 741455, member: 72947"] I had uBlock origin on and it is setup to disallow all by default and I don't remember enabling it on either the site I went to or the site it redirected to, so there shouldn't be anything bad at least script wise. The site I was redirected to was just a fake survey. So I don't think there was any dropped files or exploit or threat behaviours that I know of. On my to do list is to clear the browser cache and see if I get redirected again.... although after the below results maybe not. So it was a website with a forum. I put the exact thread link into urlscan.io and urlquery.net and nothing came up on the latter but the former said couldn't parse. However, I changed urlscan.io to just the www domain and that had some stuff come up, which unsure how to read. It has 48/48 on the urlscan.io list. Some say redirected from and one says PTR. and is the left and right arrows, that column near the right hand side, is that number of redirects or something else? urlquery.net after changing that to http www domain, it came up with 30 results, some of them porn sites. So, these results, are they redirects from the site I visited, to where I would get redirected to, or are these results where you get redirected from not where you get redirected to? Is the 3p-redirect link in the post above mine, is that to test if a browser anti redirect plugin works? [/QUOTE]
