What caused the loss of traffic during a chain of redirects through an https link?
Hello.
We make a service related to user analysis. The essence of the work is approximately the following:
- the user clicks on the link;
- the user is redirected to the address on our service;
- service makes magic;
- the service redirects the user to the landing page;
Domains on each of the addresses may not match. In some cases, you need to redirect via https, and then problems arise: up to a third of the test traffic is lost (does not reach our service). Opportunities to catch the user and ask "what's wrong?" no.
The conclusion about the losses is based on the comparison of users who clicked on the link and users who came to us (ie, those who established an ssl connection and made a url request).
Test traffic, to put it mildly, is cheap and bad and is lost even without using https (normal losses are about 10%), but with the inclusion of encryption, the losses increase dramatically. It is necessary to eliminate them or make sure that they are “natural” (for example, these are all bots).

Services for checking ssl like https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/analyze.html?d=rou... say that the chain of trust is configured correctly.
According to the User-Agent analysis, the main losses occur in the latest versions of browsers (mainly Chrome, since traffic is mainly on this browser). Operating systems: Windows 7 (2 thirds of traffic), Windows XP (one third).

As a result, it turned out that it took up to 0.5 seconds to establish a secure connection, apparently users are simply not ready to wait that long and close the page.
