What is the live demo supposed to do? I just get stuck in an endless redirect loop with a counter going from 1 to 18 and then restarting. I’m using Safari on iOS.

Android/Firefox it showed me my unique ID after the first 18. Then there was a button to try again ans that put me in the same loop you're having.

FireFox for Android private browsing mode gets stuck in the loop 100% for me

Safari on iOS. It goes to 18/18 and then starts over from 1/18 again for me too. I had not pressed any retry button, this happened the first time I visited the page. And I wasn’t even in private browsing mode. Just navigated to it normally.
