Redirects can be routine, temporary or misleading, so every hop should be treated as a separate observation.
Start from the exact claimed URL
Preserve the original spelling, scheme and path before following the chain.
This prevents a later final address from being mistaken for the source that was actually published.
Record each hostname transition
Note every host, status code and timestamp in order.
A change to a new registered domain is more significant than a path change within the same documented site.
Distinguish temporary and permanent signals
HTTP redirect codes express server intent but do not guarantee how long a destination will remain in use.
Repeated checks and publisher documentation provide stronger context than a single response.
Stop when the chain becomes unclear
Unexpected authentication prompts, downloads or unrelated destinations should end a routine review.
Do not enter credentials or continue merely because the first address used the Mars Market name.
Publish a bounded conclusion
Describe the observed chain and its date without claiming continuity that the evidence cannot support.
A redirect can connect two URLs technically while ownership remains unverified.
