I successfully use:

<meta http-equiv="REFRESH" content="1; url=http://www.redirect_here.com">

To be honest, I am not sure what the digit indicates (this goes back years
into the past), _but_...

....for any major redirection, you will be better off redirecting without that
'browser flicker' and also with a proper status/error code, which indicates
a permanent redirection. How you implement this depends on your Web server
software. Do a Web search on "301 redirects".

Best wishes,

Roy

PS - your English is fine.
