Is anyone experiencing a lag in using javascript redirects on landing pages?

[Anonymous]

Instead of redirecting to the new page, the entire page loads up and then the user is redirected to the new LP.

Any thoughts?

Hi Blackketter

I am not trying to redirect the page completely, I am doing a selective redirect in case the LP is accessed from a mobile device. Hence I need the webpage to coexist and not do a complete redirect.

Any other suggestions?

Thx

Yeah, javascript inside the body tags is the last thing to fire on a landing page.  You can redirect with an html meta-tag in the head of the page, that might actually fly before the rest of the page loads, something like:
<meta http-equiv="REFRESH" content="0;url=http://www.the-domain-you-want-to-redirect-to.com">
The 0 before the url tells it how many seconds to wait before redirecting.
