I am making a redirect using window.location.href.

But what it does, it simply fetches old page (not showing the newly added item) that was previously in borwser's cache.

I want it to fetch every think from server, just like we use true parameter in document.location.reload(true) to load a fresh copy of page from server.

• javascript
• jquery
• codeigniter
• http-redirect

• can you show your code here? – Syed Aqeel Commented Jul 23, 2016 at 18:21
• its simply window.location.href = "http://www.mywebsite./products" – Umair Ayub Commented Jul 23, 2016 at 18:22
• if you think that it loads cached pages instead of new then you should try in private browsing to see the new result. other condition I can't examine what are you asking about – Syed Aqeel Commented Jul 23, 2016 at 18:26

You can use this:

window.location.href = "http://www.mywebsite./products?t="+ (new Date().getTime());

Or:

window.location.href = "http://www.mywebsite./products?t="+ Math.random();

You can use this for any websites:

window.location.href = window.location.href.split('?')[0] + '?cacheBuster=' + new Date().getTime();
