<\/span><\/h2>\nJavaScript can’t force a cache-free reload in most browsers, as the old location.reload(true)<\/code> option only ever worked in Firefox and is now ignored. To get the latest version of a page yourself, use a hard refresh:<\/p>\n\n- Windows and Linux:<\/strong> Ctrl + F5<\/strong> or Ctrl + Shift + R<\/strong><\/li>\n
- Mac:<\/strong> Cmd + Shift + R<\/strong><\/li>\n
- Normal refresh:<\/strong> F5<\/strong> or Ctrl + R<\/strong> (Cmd + R<\/strong> on Mac)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
If visitors keep seeing old content after an update, clear your caching plugin or CDN cache rather than adding refresh buttons.<\/p>\n
<\/span>Adding a refresh button in WordPress<\/span><\/h2>\nWordPress may strip onclick<\/code> and <script><\/code> from post content for users without the unfiltered HTML permission. Add the button in a Custom HTML<\/strong> block as an administrator, or add the event-listener script to your theme’s footer with a code snippets plugin.<\/p>\n<\/span>Frequently asked questions<\/span><\/h2>\n<\/span>How do I refresh a page in JavaScript?<\/span><\/h3>\nCall location.reload()<\/code>. It reloads the current URL, just like the browser’s refresh button.<\/p>\n<\/span>Is meta refresh bad for SEO?<\/span><\/h3>\nA meta refresh that reloads the same page doesn’t directly hurt rankings, but it can annoy users. Don’t use a delayed meta refresh to redirect to a different URL; use a 301 redirect instead.<\/p>\n
<\/span>How do I refresh only part of a page?<\/span><\/h3>\nUse JavaScript’s fetch()<\/code> to load new data and update just that section of the page, without a full reload.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Want to add a refresh page button or reload link to your web page?
