What is a Thank You Page Redirect?

Have you filled out a contact form or subscribed to a newsletter, and after you hit the send button, you got sent to a cool thank you page? It makes such a better experience. Far better than the default ‘Form was successfully sent.’ You know, that boring little line of text below the form that is usually too small to read.
