Dear all,

Hope this email finds you well.

We need to automatically redirect a page to a new link after 10 seconds. I attempted to add the code to the head section in the settings of the landing page, but not working.  
"Redirect Error

It looks like some code on your page caused a redirect to an unexpected URL, preventing the editor from working properly. Please wrap any JavaScript redirect code on your page with editor check conditionals. See the [knowledge base](https://developers.hubspot.com/docs/cms/guides/provide-a-good-editor-experience#how-to-use-window-hsineditor-) for more information."

Thank you

Hi there,

You’re on the right track with wanting to redirect a page after a delay, but HubSpot’s landing page editor has specific protections in place to avoid redirect loops or broken editor experiences. That’s why you’re seeing the **“Redirect Error” and the warning about wrapping your code with editor conditionals.**

To implement a timed redirect **without breaking the page editor, you need to use HubSpot’s editor check conditional around your JavaScript. Here’s a safe code snippet you can add to the Footer HTML or Head HTML of your landing page settings:**

\<script\> if (window.location.href.indexOf(‘hs\_preview’) === -1 && window.location.href.indexOf(‘content-preview’) === -1) { setTimeout(function() { window.location.href = "[https://your-new-url.com"; }, 10000); // 10 seconds = 10,000 milliseconds }](https://your-new-url.com)

\</script\>

### 

HubSpot uses special preview modes (hs\_preview or content-preview) in the editor. The if condition checks that the user is **not in preview mode before triggering the redirect. This ensures:**

- Your editor remains accessible.

- The redirect only runs for actual visitors.
