Description
5sec Redirect schedules automatic redirects in WordPress, sending visitors from one page to another URL after a configurable time interval, with a custom message displayed during the countdown. It works as a wait timer between pages, with exclusion rules by user type or device, and is for anyone who needs to create interstitial pages before downloads, limited-time offers, or post-conversion thank-you screens.
