What is the method to reload a webpage with JavaScript?

// To refresh a webpage using JavaScript, you can use the following method:
window.location.reload();

What is the correct way to initiate a page reload with JavaScript?

You’re on the right track with window.location.reload();, but it’s worth mentioning that this method refreshes the page based on a boolean argument. Passing true as an argument will force a page reload from the server (window.location.reload(true);), while omitting it or passing false will reload it from the cache (window.location.reload(false);). This can make a difference in scenarios where you want to ensure the latest data are loaded from the server.

Apart from window.location.reload(), you can also set window.location.href = window.location.href;, it acts similarly by reloading the current page. Just another way to do it if you prefer using href. :blush: Just keep in mind it always retrieves the page fresh, similar to reload(true).

Another way to refresh a page is by using history.go(0); in JavaScript. This method will also reload the page and is particularly helpful if you want to move to a different point in the session history, but when passed 0, it just reloads the page similar to window.location.reload(). Keep in mind, this and other methods do not reset any JavaScript variables or state, unless the page is fully loaded from the server side.
