I recently moved my website from another domain to this one. I need to route the users from the old to this without much effort. So I decided to write a simple JavaScript which redirect from one page to another.
If you want the solution right away, copy and paste the below.
<script type="text/javascript">
var timer = setTimeout(function() {
window.location.replace('https://binovarghese.com' + window.location.pathname);
}, 3000);
</script>
The window.location
object can be used to get the current page address and redirect to a new page. In the above script, replace
method of the location
interface replaces the current resource with one which we provided.
Also I need to redirect to exact page in the new website, for the same we can use the window.location.pathname
which returns the path and filename of the current page.
If you want to dive more on Window Location object read the below.
window.location properties:
window.location.host
returns the domain name and port number of the web host.window.location.hostname
returns the domain name of the web host.window.location.href
returns the URL of the current page.window.location.origin
returns the protocol, hostname and port number of the URL.window.location.pathname
returns the path and filename of the current page.window.location.port
returns the port number of the URL. If the website is using default ports, it will omit the port number and display nothing.window.location.protocol
returns the web protocol used (http: or https:).window.location.search
returns the query string of the URL.
window.location methods:
window.location.assign()
loads a new document.window.location.reload()
Reloads the current document.window.location.replace()
Replace the current URL with new one.
Example
Let assume for the below url
https://binovarghese.com/blog/2023/06/get-current-url-javascript/
console.log(location.host);
// binovarghese.com
console.log(location.hostname);
// binovarghese.com
console.log(location.href);
// https://binovarghese.com/blog/2023/06/get-current-url-javascript/
console.log(location.origin);
// https://binovarghese.com
console.log(location.pathname);
// /blog/2023/06/get-current-url-javascript/
console.log(location.port);
//
console.log(location.protocol);
