There is a single request when loading the page that results in a 301
status code which is a GET request for https://www.google.com/jsapi

Test the url with curl -I https://www.cde.ca.gov/

Curl results in this response, though, which indicates that a 302 redirect
status does occur when the site thinks you're a bot (fair enough in these
LLM days where companies are stealing the internet).

HTTP/1.1 302 Moved Temporarily
Server: rdwr
Date: Tue, 02 Sep 2025 21:12:14 GMT
Content-Type: text/html
Connection: keep-alive

Location:
https://validate.perfdrive.com/?ssa=613ca131-5a8f-43fc-a8f0-b8263d09dd74&ssb=98511261404&ssc=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cde.ca.gov%2F&ssi=befc02e3-ctxv-4d8c-a298-7ca114da9162&ssk=botmanager_supp...@radware.com&ssm={snipped}

It's tough because how can anyone be confident that the `Location` header
will ever actually resolve to the provided url?
