Forcing JavaScript to refresh once

Question

How do I force Javascript to refresh onload only once? My take:

$(window).ready(function(res){
    var hash = '#refreshed';
    if(window.location.hash != hash) window.location.replace(window.location + hash)
});

But this doesn't refresh the page. Any ideas why?

The purpose of a hash is that changing it won't reload the page.

As of that you would need to use MDN: Location.reload() after you changed the hash.

Have you tried using location.reload?

The Location.reload() method Reloads the resource from the current URL. Its optional unique parameter is a Boolean, which, when it is true, causes the page to always be reloaded from the server. If it is false or not specified, the browser may reload the page from its cache.

Example:

$(window).ready(function(res){
  var hash = '#refreshed';
  if(window.location.hash != hash) {
    window.location.replace(window.location + hash); // add your hash
    document.location.reload();                      // reload the page
  }
});
