Its a late answer  but as I can see most of the people mentioned about  refresh  method to redirect a webpage  As per W3C  we should not use  refresh  to redirect  Because it could break the  back  button  Imagine that the user presses the  back  button  the refresh would work again  and the user would bounce forward  The user will most likely get very annoyed  and close the window  which is probably not what you  as the author of this page  want   Use HTTP redirects instead  One can refer the complete documentation here  W3C document

If you re using Apache and can use a  htaccess file you should use the following type of redirect   Add the following to an  htaccess file in the root of your website   RewriteEngine On RewriteRule   oldfile path file name  html   oldfile path file name html  R 301 L    This has the advantage of being a very fast and immediate redirect   It also depends on your reason for the redirect   This is a more permanent method because it sends the HTTP 301 status code signifying that the file has moved permanently and causes many browsers to cache that request   You can change the code to something else like a 302 for temporary redirects   Otherwise you can do a simple redirect using an HTML  lt meta gt  tag as suggested by others    lt meta http-equiv  refresh  content  5  url http   example com   gt    By default the content  5  makes that redirect after 5 seconds   This will be slower and not all browsers support it   A redirect can also be done in the server language of your choice PHP  Node js  etc
