== Description ==

WordPress Redirect URL Plugin is a lightweight SEO plugin that provides a simple way to redirect users to a specific URL or page using a shortcode.  

**Features:**  
- Use the **`[rurl]`** shortcode to define a URL and a delay in seconds.  
- Smooth redirection with an optional message if the user doesn't want to wait.

== Usage ==

To use the plugin, simply add the `[rurl]` shortcode to your posts, pages, or widgets with the following attributes:  

**Shortcode Example:** `[rurl url="https://example.com" sec="5"]`

**Attributes:**
