I’ve heard that the usual way I redirect from an HTML page, like
<meta http-equiv="REFRESH" content="0;url=page.html">
is deprecated by the latest HTML. Is it true or not, and if so, what other ways are there to redirect?

The proper way to redirect is to send redirect headers.
You need to change status from
200 OKto appropriate 3xx status. Then you also need to includeLocation: http://yourRedirectURLheader. The implementation depends on what programming language you are using in the back-end.
