How to redirect visitor using js

Question

How to redirect User in No.1 html page to another No. 2 html page using javascript when a user visit first time in No.1 page. If possible pls help me.

Depends if first time means first time ever or first time this session. If it's the later you should use a session, otherwise a cookie should do the job. You have shown nearly no effort in asking this question. What have you tried? Code please. — StackSlave, Nov 17 '15 at 09:30

Just use cookie to mark the user first time and redirect it with document.location:

if ( getCookie( 'first-time' ) === undefined ) {
    setCookie( 'first-time', 'yes' );
    document.location = '/second-page-url';
}

To use cookie read this Set cookie and get cookie with JavaScript and this Get cookie by name

You need to set a cookie on the first visit, then you can check the user was there before on your site.

To check 1st visit or not one can use cookie or localStorage.
And to redirect there are several methods/mechanisms: this article explains it well

Agree with legotin, but you will need to read/write cookie somehow:

Read cookie:

function getCookie(name) {
      var matches = document.cookie.match(new RegExp(
        "(?:^|; )" + name.replace(/([\.$?*|{}\(\)\[\]\\\/\+^])/g, '\\$1') + "=([^;]*)"));
      return matches ? decodeURIComponent(matches[1]) : undefined;
    }

Set cookie:

function setCookie(name, value, options) {
  options = options || {};

  var expires = options.expires;

  if (typeof expires == "number" && expires) {
    var d = new Date();
    d.setTime(d.getTime() + expires * 1000);
    expires = options.expires = d;
  }
  if (expires && expires.toUTCString) {
    options.expires = expires.toUTCString();
  }

  value = encodeURIComponent(value);

  var updatedCookie = name + "=" + value;

  for (var propName in options) {
    updatedCookie += "; " + propName;
    var propValue = options[propName];
    if (propValue !== true) {
      updatedCookie += "=" + propValue;
    }
  }

  document.cookie = updatedCookie;
}
