Hello JohnBedford and welcome!

Your observations are correct.  The redirect will not work for the HTML file and as you noted, the meta tag is outside of the head element.

However, there should be enough information in place for a manual verification.

I will notify the Safe Web team of your issue.  Please allow them a day or two to respond back to you in this thread.

In the mean time, could you double check that the URL you submitted to Safe Web exactly matches your website address, letter for letter?
