Here is a simple code for making a SharePoint page, redirect to another page. These kind of scenario's are useful when we want to set any layout page as homepage for our site , as OOTB feature don't allow us to set any layout page as home page.
Add a content editor webpart to the home page and give the reference of the script (placed in style library).
Enter below code in script file.
<script language="JavaScript">
function redirectAfterPause() {
setTimeout(location.href="<layouts page complete url>", 1);
}
_spBodyOnLoadFunctionNames.push("redirectAfterPause");
</script>
The same thing can also be done by directly pasting the above code in content editor webpart.
