Permalink for Homepage

I have a simple wordpress question. Currently I have a site with a static home page, when I visit my site examplesite.com the URL reads what it should which is examplesite.com, would it be possible to give this static home page a permalink so that when I load the site it automatically turns to examplesite.com/customlink. What I am saying is I still want the same home page and the same URL to reach it, I just want a specific permalink to appear. I can edit permalinks for all other pages but since this is my homepage I see no option to do it automatically in wordpress.

go to your admin >settings>general>reading>Front page displays and set your page to deafult - Rakesh Sharma
This doesn't really have anything to do with PHP, it should be migrated to WordPress Development Stack Exchange if possible. - user456814
@RakeshSharma I'm sorry that doesn't answer my question. I already have my home page set as default. The issue is a cannot get a permalink to appear in the window - bala

Inside settings you can set static pages as default.

For this you'll need .htaccess, e.g.

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^$ page-you-want [L,R=301]

So any requests to root will get moved to the permalink you want. You don't need to set your home page to a static page/front page.
