In order to make sure we are viewing the most recent content, it may occasionally be necessary for us to manually refresh a page. In this blog post we are going to cover five methods using which you can refresh your browser.

Windows API

The Window interface represents a window containing a DOM document; the document property points to the DOM document loaded in that window.

Document API

The Document interface represents any web page loaded in the browser and serves as an entry point into the web page’s content, which is the DOM tree.

Refresh using a button

We can create a button with the onClick attribute which will trigger the website reload as a function is passed i.e.,reload()

Automatically refresh using setTimeout()

The setTimeout() method calls a function after a number of milliseconds. Her calling function is a function to trigger the website reload

History API

The DOM Window object provides access to the browser's session history through the history object. It exposes practical methods and attributes that enable you to traverse the user's history in reverse and control the information in the history stack.

Meta tags — addition Tip

Meta tags are specialized text and image content that serve as a webpage's summary. When someone shares a link on social media, in messaging, or in your company chat software, meta-tag information frequently appears.

We can use this same meta tag to refresh our web page.
