How to automatically redirect your visitors to your new home page?


Page redirection is a situation where you clicked a URL to reach a page X but internally you were directed to another page Y. It happens due to page redirection.

To redirect from an HTML page, use the META Tag. With this, use the http-equiv attribute to provide an HTTP header for the value of the content attribute. The value in the content is the number of seconds; you want the page to redirect after.

Through this, you can automatically redirect your visitors to a new homepage. Set the content attribute to 0, if you want it to load immediately.

The following is an example of redirecting current page to another page after 2 seconds.
