How to Redirect to Another Page in JavaScript
When you move your website to another domain or relocate pages on the same domain, you should redirect your old pages to the new ones. This helps visitors find the new location of your content. The best way to redirect websites and pages is to configure the server to perform the redirect automatically so that search engines will follow the redirect. However, if you don't have access to the server, you can use JavaScript Page (JSP) to redirect visitors.
