Redirect sharepoint page to external site in IIS

Question

I'm trying to redirect to from a web page in sharepoint site to another page. I want once the users go to this page /pages/voice.aspx it should redirect them to google home page. This is my code: I'm using IIS Rewrite Module

<rewrite>
        <rules>
            <rule name="test" patternSyntax="ECMAScript" stopProcessing="true">
                <match url=".*" negate="false" />
                <action type="Redirect" url="http://www.google.com" appendQueryString="false" />
                <conditions>
                    <add input="{HTTP_HOST}" pattern="/Pages/Voice.aspx" />
                </conditions>
            </rule>
        </rules>
    </rewrite>

then when I access the page, it wont redirect to google home page and no error message was shown on screen.

If there's an alternative way to do the same, please share. I have followed the same steps in this answer but still no luck Immediate Redirect page in sharepoint

I also have tried

<meta http-equiv="REFRESH" content="0;url=http://www.yoururl.com">

but it doesnt redirect, the page remains the same.

I have used 'Redirect' page template in sharepoint but I think its slow for the end user as it needs 5 seconds. I want something instant.

I suggest adding a Content Editor Web part to the page you want to redirect from, and add the following piece to it. Just tested it on my page and it worked.

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="5;url=http://google.com"/>
