Avoid adding page to browser history when redirecting with http-equiv meta attribute

Question

I have a webpage that redirects to the desired recipient url using:

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0; URL=$destination.url" />

I would like the first page not to be in browser history.

In particular, on mobile phones (Android, iOS, etc.), I want the back button to skip the redirect page.

The first is better, but if there is some reason, you cannot do this, it location.replacecan work as an alternative:

document.location.replace(redirectURL)

location.replace , "" . , - , , JavaScript.
