How do I limit access to a page only through redirect from another page

I have two web pages, index.html and home.html. I'm trying to make home.html can only be accessed from index.html so that if a user inputs www.mywbpage.home.html, they'll be redirected to an error page or to index.html..

I linked index.html to home.html with a JS button.

Tried searching all over but the PHP, JS and .htaccess codes I got didn't work...

Solution

  • This can be done without server side, but you know this is a bit sketchy.

    index.html

    var value = "visited";    // or the date of visit!
localStorage.setItem('my_flag', "visited");

    home.html

    var value = localStorage.getItem('my_flag');
if (value != "visited") {
    window.location = "index.html";
}
localStorage.removeItem("my_flag");
