Error «Refresh Redirected» Description
Indicates addresses of the pages that redirect to another URL using the refresh directive in the HTTP response header or the <meta http-equip="refresh"> tag in the <head> section of a document.
The Importance of the Problem
Refresh directs a user to a new (or the same) URL after a certain period of time.
It is not recommended to use this meta tag (or a directive) as a redirection method (instead of the 3xx server redirects): it is not supported by all browsers, it substantially slows down the page load speed and may confuse users, thereby they might consider the site low-quality and leave it.
How to Fix Error
If meta refresh is used on important URLs, remove it or set the 301 server redirect.
However, the meta refresh can be used on not important pages for certain tasks (e.g. on authentication or payment confirmation pages).
