SharePoint 2013 immediately redirects you to an application page start.aspx when you call a website.
If you’ve ever wondered why, keep on reading… The pictures will also look familiar to you. So what happened? Why the start.aspx?
The start.aspx inherits Microsoft.SharePoint.ApplicationPages.MDSStartPage. That page simply looks, if the SPContext.Current.Site.CompatibilityLevel is above 14. If not, it’ll redirect to web.Url. That is the behavior, we know from previous versions of SharePoint.
