meta-refresh

Avoid using <meta http-equiv="refresh"> for a delayed refresh.

Severity: Critical

Description

To allow assistive technology users to control when the refresh happens, refrain from using <meta http-equiv="refresh"> with a refresh time of less than 20 hours in the document.

Why is it important?

Frequent content refreshing might result in page disorientation. This can be frustrating to users as a refresh can lead to shifting the programmatic focus to the top of the page.

How to fix?

Every meta element that contains the http-equiv="refresh" attribute should be removed, or the refresh duration should be raised to more than 20 hours.
