Yep. We try to indicate when you're being affected by redirects since `http` -> `https` and `example.com` -> `www.example.com` are common ones. Those can often mean hitting an origin server instead of an edge server first.

Yup! As I noted in a comment above, this is just not a common case for us - usually our inbound traffic is coming from SEO which sends you to the right place. But when I am typing it into a search box, it's real easy to forget.

I am going to look into getting those redirects cached though, there's no reason we shouldn't be able to serve them off the edge.
