Web page refresh

When I get into a couple of sites of mine that have a login section on the main page, the page refreshes one time after about 4 seconds. I have to wait before I can enter my username. The 4 seconds doesn't bother me, but just wondering what is going on here. They are both financial web sites. Windows 10?, Firefox?, Toshiba laptop?, Web site kinks?

Sometimes their javascript is messed which keeps reloading or refreshing the site.
