Did visiting a suspicious webpage compromise my iPhone's iOS?

I received a call from an unknown UK mobile number and Googled the number myself on my iPhone. One Google result was a strange Blogspot page. I opened it in Chrome; the page said “Page not found” and then automatically redirected me to a normal Google search with a pre-filled search query.

I didn’t download anything, enter any credentials, approve any permissions, install a profile/app, or receive any security warnings. My iPhone is fully updated and I’ve had no unusual account or device activity since.

Is this consistent with a normal webpage/SEO-spam redirect, and is there any technical reason to suspect that merely loading that Blogspot page compromised iOS?

No. It's almost impossible to download anything harmful in the first place and based on what you said, just visiting something didn't cause any harm.

• Your phone has not been compromised.
• Yes a redirect can open a Google Search page with prefilled search terms
