Redirect Category to External URL

Support
6

So, related issue: I’ve now implemented a redirect (using JavaScript), but… it works only on refresh, which is clearly suboptimal. At any rate, here’s the code I’m using:

$( document ).ready(function() {
	if ( window.location.href === "https://omnifora.com/c/redirect-politifora" ) {
		window.location.replace( "https://politifora.com/" );
	}
});

As should be obvious from the code, Omnifora is the primary site in this network and I am attempting to redirect a Politifora category on Omnifora to Politifora. I’ve already eliminated caching (browser, server, Cloudflare) as a potential culprit. Is there some quirk in Discourse that would cause this redirect not to trigger?
