If it is on the same directory level/relative, you can use this instead.

window.location.href = '/home.html';
// or window.location.href = 'home.html';

Just some additional information for your reference,

window.location is an object with various properties such as href and hash, whereas window.location.href is a string itself. Either ways, setting both window.location and window.location.href to a string value should lead to a redirection to another page.

An path starting with / is absolute to the root of the file system, it's not relative – Ferrybig Apr 05 '19 at 15:27
