You could try an HTML Redirect. Copy your header.php and rename to header-redirect.php and include this code:
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0; url=xyz.com/test/test1" />
Then create a page template called page-home.php and include this code:
<?php
/*
Template Name: Home
*/
?>
<?php get_header('redirect'); ?>
<p>Please wait, you are being redirected</p>
<?php get_footer(); ?>
Set your hompage template to “Home” and it’ll redirect.
One drawback is that visitors might see the blank page temporarily.
