Note:
The w3 Consortium states that "some user agents support the use of META to refresh the current page after a specified number of seconds, with the option of replacing it by a different URL.
Authors should not use this technique to forward users to different pages, as this makes the page inacceceble to some users.
Instead, automatic page forwarding should be done using server-side redirects."
