Guideline 7. Ensure user control of time-sensitive content changes.

Checkpoint 7.5 - Until user agents provide the ability to stop auto-redirect, do not use markup to redirect pages automatically. Instead, configure the server to perform redirects

How do I do it?

Rather than using an using an auto redirect (see one at http://www.javascriptkit.com/script/script2/autofresh.shtml), simply input a text link to the new page, or configure your server to automatically redirect.

If a page is using an auto redirect, you will see it for a few seconds before another page loads.

How do I check that it meets the WCAG criteria?

This checkpoint was not triggered by any sites I checked with webXact, so I do not know whether it will automatically check this for you, however as it checks checkpoint 7.4, it probably will also check checkpoint 7.5.
