On redirect pages, What is the reason to include '5 Second delays' in redirected pages?

or even on a payment page, they have a 5 second delay on some peoples payment pages.


What are the main reasons of the delay? and can you do it Without the delay? (clickbank also have these delay between the: "Thank you, You have paid" -> Download page

But i am asking about redirect from the Order page -> Payment page

    Hi entry, Some do it to allow the page graphics to load prior to showing the user
    the page. Some say that it's better than allowing the user to visit a page and watch all
    the graphic images loading.

    Others write scripts which require time to process info therefore the delay allows
    time for processing.

    Hope that Helps,
    Have a Great Day!

    Not in the case you are asking about but some systems
    also build in time to allow the payment processor to update
    the database before delivering the order. So, Paypal may
    need to send a confirmation to the website/system's database,
    before the script verifies that the order went through and
    forwards the customer to the download page.

    Without the delay, those scripts often show an order as
    unknown or unverified simply because they haven't allowed
    time for Paypal or whatever processor to update the database.
