Refresh Meta Tag Description and Uses:
The meta refresh tag is most often used to create redirects of the current page to a new web page. It can also be used to reload the current page so that scripts that rely on dynamic content can get new data.
Refresh Meta Tag Type:
The refresh meta tag is a http-equiv meta tag.
Refresh Meta Tag Format:
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="" >
Refresh Meta Tag Recommended Uses:
It is not a good idea to use the meta refresh tag to redirect pages to other URLs because search engines remove these pages from their databases. If you must redirect a page, the best method is to use a 301 Server Redirect. This tells the search engine that the page is permanently redirected and they will keep the page in their index.
You can also use the refresh tag to simply reload the page. But it is better to do this with a script so that your readers are not confused.
