How to Redirect to a Rewritten URL
If you move your website or want to redirect a Web page to a different location, you use the "meta refresh" HTML tag to redirect to the rewritten URL. The meta tag can be added to any HTML page. It redirects Web browsers and search engine bots to the new page, so you can send readers and search engines to the new page content.

Replace the URL property value with your own website domain and page names. You can redirect to a page in the same domain or one in another external domain.
