HTML Redirect

HTML Redirect Code are also know as directing the guest from one particular site to one more web-site automatically by incorporating some code to META tag. HTML Redirect code is useful for the reason that you do not want 404 error message appear if there is damaged link simply because you forgot to set the URL appropriately. Sometimes, if place in the web page was modified, you can actually redirect them to other websites or pages. When your domain is practically expired, you may redirect guests without dropping them to your new web site URL.

The HTML Redirect allows to introduce a delay before the redirection is performed.

It is sometimes called “META refresh” redirect.

Browsers will display the page during the specified time and then move forward to the page pointed to by the redirection.

HTML Redirect and Search Engines

We will specifically look at how Google handles HTML Redirect. There are two cases :

- the delay is very short (0, 1 or 2 seconds)

[divider style="solid"/]

The HTML Redirect page is displayed so briefly that some users might not even notice its presence. Google decides that the content of this page should not be indexed and that the link should be handled as a redirection.

Discribing the Process of HTML Redirect Page

[divider style="solid"/]

<META HTTP-EQUIV=”refresh” CONTENT=”5;URL=the-other-page.html”>
The redirecting page will be displayed during 5 seconds. After this 5 seconds delay, it will be replaced by “the-other-page.html”.

[divider style="solid"/]

<META HTTP-EQUIV=”refresh” CONTENT=”12;URL=http://www.pstwist.com/”>
The HTML Redirect page will be displayed during 12 seconds. After this 12 seconds delay, it will be replaced by the home page of this site.

[divider style="solid"/]

<META HTTP-EQUIV=”refresh” CONTENT=”0;URL=another-page.html”>
The redirecting page will be displayed and immediately replaced by “another-page.html”. With this zero-delay, many users will not even notice the presence of the redirecting page.
