HTML: How can I instantly redirect a page?
So i'm making a website, and I want it to redirect to another site automatically (instantly). I am aware of the Meta Refresh thing, but it doesn't instantly redirect. It takes like 3 seconds to redirect for me. I found a website a while ago that instantly redirected. So fast that View-Source couldn't see the source code. Thanks in advance

You’re looking for mod_rewrite (for httpd, or comparable utilities for other servers).

You have to make your server emit a 301 redirect header.
This can't be done with HTML since it runs on the client (that's why the client has to download your HTML page first, and then get redirected).
Here's an example with PHP:
<?php header("Location: http://othersite.com");
And here's it using .htaccess:
Redirect 301 / http://othersite.com
