In JavaScript, the reload() method is used to reload a webpage. It is similar to the refresh button of the browser. This method does not return any value.
Syntax
location.reload() This method can have optional parameters true and false. The true keyword force to reload the page from the server, while the false keyword reloads the page from the cache.
The false is the default parameter of this method, so if we omitted the parameter’s value, the reload() method reloads the page from the cache. It means that the object.reload() is same as the object.reload(false).
Let’s see an example of using the location.reload() method.
Example
