RE: Displaying label at runtime

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

You could, then, try an intermediate page with "Loading" information. For
example, you could create a page that only redirects and while it's
redirecting, it's showing a "Loading..." message.

The page would only have something like
<script>
window.navigation.url = "destination.aspx"
</script>
<body>
Loading...

(The code is super trimmed for illustration)
