Use redirect in your route Express redirect

Example:

app.get('/demo1', function(req, res) {
 res.redirect('/demo2');
});

app.use((req, res, next) => {
 if (req.url == '/') {
  res.redirect('/en');
  return;
 }
  next();
})

I was thru the same and i had to use return next() was calling before

You probably created a route. To fix, change the about router from this:

app.get('/demo1', function(req, res) {
 res.redirect('/demo2');
});

You can try this is as well if you have routes in seperate files. Let say we have it in demo1route.js in the route folder.

var express = require('express');
var router = express.Router();    
router.get('/', function(req, res) {
 res.render('/demo2');
});

and then use below code in app.js

var demo1 = app.require('../demo1route.js')    
app.use('/demo1',demo1);

app.get('/demo1', function(req, res) {
 res.redirect('/demo2');
});

this should work fine if /demo2 is a get request router
