Internal Redirection (Meta Refresh)

What This Means

Internal URLs with a meta refresh. This is a client-side redirect which instructs the browser to ‘refresh’ to a URL with a specific time.

What Triggers This Issue

This issue is triggered when an internal URL has a meta refresh attribute, indicating that it ‘refreshes’ to a URL with a specific time. <head><meta http-equiv="refresh" content="30"> </head>

How To Fix

Ideally server-side redirects should be used for redirection and all internal links would be to canonical resolving URLs, and avoid linking to URLs that redirect. This reduces latency of redirect hops for users, and enhanced efficiency for search engines.
