How to redirect one HTML page to another on load

Is it possible to set up a basic HTML page to redirect to another page on load?

Solution

  • Try using:

    <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0; url=http://example.com/" />

    Note: Place it in the <head> section.

    Additionally for older browsers if you add a quick link in case it doesn't refresh correctly:

    <p><a href="http://example.com/">Redirect</a></p>

    Will appear as

    Redirect

    This will still allow you to get to where you're going with an additional click.
