                     The page is automatically updated after a given time and a
                     new page is automatically loaded after a given time. You
                     should remove this behavior.

                     Until browsers allow users to turn off automatically
                     updating features, do not use auto-refresh or
                     auto-redirect. If auto-redirect is needed, then implement
                     it using the redirection capabilities offered by the
                     server. This will not affect accessibility of the pages
                     because the page would change only as a consequence of the
                     user requesting a page from the server. If this is not
                     possible, then you should provide the users with the means
                     to access and navigate the items present on the current
                     page also in the new page that is loaded automatically. In
                     this way, the user will still be able to access those items
                     when the two pages switch.

                     Pages that are automatically updated may pose significant
                     problems to people who are disabled or who use technology
                     that hinders normal interaction patterns. For example,
                     screen readers might not be working properly when the page
                     updates, or people with physical disabilities might not be
                     able to move quickly or accurately through the page content
                     and navigation items. Also, people may face problems if for
                     some reason they are slow in reading the page, if they use a
                     very slow internet connection, or if they use a small
                     screen that forces them to read more slowly. Until browsers
                     allow users to turn off these automatically updating
                     features, do not use auto-refresh.
