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

                     Until browsers allow users to turn off automatically
                     updating features, do not use auto-refresh. Try to achieve
                     a similar effect by specifying caching properties and
                     configure the web server appropriately. This would not
                     affect the accessibility of the pages because the page
                     would change only as a consequence of the user requesting a
                     page from the server.

                     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.
