Thank you for all answer, but I have found the best answer by myself.

To do this, when user first come to website, we need to save the first current page address (URL) to HTML5 local storage with key "startingURL" in react component outside of route component, for example in App.js file.

localStorage.setItem("startingURL", window.location.href);

To get starting URL, simply get local storage item with key "startingURL"

localStorage.getItem("startingURL");

this should be possible with plain javascript

document.referrer

For more see this question: How to get the previous URL in JavaScript?

Or the documentation: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Document/referrer
