Server.Transfer() and Response.Redirect()

Working on my current project, I come up with a scenario to switch a visitor to a new page after some process.
Here I have an option to use either redirect() or server.transfer(). So what are the tradeoffs:

  • Redirect() would allow to navigate to other pages out of the current website unlike Transfer()
  • Redirect() needs a round-trip to client page but transfer() won’t need this which would make transfer() a bit fast

Well for my case, I am not redirecting to other page and I want it to be fast so – I have used Server.Transfer().
