Solution 1

You can use setTimeout to set time after which user will be redirected and window.location to set the URL where the users should be redirected

setTimeout(function(){ window.location = "http://www.yoururl.com"; },3000);

Solution 2

<script type="text/javascript">
        $(document).ready(function () {
            setTimeout(function () {
                window.location = "you Home Page URL";
            }, 3000);
        });
    </script>

That's not the right way to do it, but you can use setTimeout(function(){ window.location = '/home'}, 3000), for this kind of requests i recommend you learn more about promises

just out of curiosity why can't you show your homepage directly?

This is poor UI design, don't make the user wait for anything. Just redirect back the home page immediately. Logging in should only generate an unavoidable message if the login fails.
