Hello Jason, As a security measure, browsers usually do not send a referer header from a from a secure connection, unless the new page is on the same domain. Eg: * https://example.com/page1 -> https://example.com/page2 : referer header sent * https://example.com/page1 -> http://validator.w3.org/check/referer : referer header NOT sent * https://example.com/page1 -> https://otherexample.com : referer header NOT sent (even though the now connection is secure) I sugest you change the URI of the icon from http://validator.w3.org/check/referer to http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http://example.com (replacing http://example.com with the actual URI of your document, of course.)
