Timed meta-refresh detected
| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Rule code | Html_MetaRefresh_Detect |
| WCAG conformance level | A |
| WCAG success criterion | 2.2.1 Timing Adjustable |
| Must be fixed at source | Yes |
Description
We detected the use of a meta tag that refreshes after a period of time. Avoid creating a timed redirect or causing a page to refresh automatically. Additionally, ensure that pages do not require a timed-response due to a meta refresh and that users are alerted and given sufficient opportunity to indicate more time is needed. For 301 and 302 URL redirections, use server-side technology or ensure that there is not a timed-delay between the page starting to load and it reloading or refreshing. If the meta-refresh is necessary, it should be given a timing value of 0.
How to fix
Remove the TIME allocation on the META refresh so it instantly refreshes instead of after a period of time. (or set the value to zero)
