Meta Refresh is a web development technique that instructs a page or element of a page to refresh after a pre-set time.

The time interval that it waits to refresh the page is set in seconds.

This can be used on pages for security issues, or for features such as stock charts or other items that may change every minute.

How Does The Meta Refresh Directive Impact SEO?

The meta refresh directive is sometimes incorrectly used as a re-direct by webmasters.

This is not a good practice, as it is a directive & not a proper re-direct, and does not pass along link equity to other pages.
