One time page refresh after first page load

Question

I would like to implement a JavaScript code which states this: if the page is loaded completely, refresh the page immediately, but only once. I'm stuck at the "only once":

window.onload = function () {window.location.reload()} 

this gives a loop without the "only once". jQuery is loaded if this helps.

Answer 1

I'd say use hash, like this:

window.onload = function() {     if(!window.location.hash) {         window.location = window.location + '#loaded';         window.location.reload();     } } 

Answer 2

When I meet this problem, I search to here but most of answers are trying to modify existing url. Here is another answer which works for me using localStorage.

<script type='text/javascript'>  (function() {   if( window.localStorage )   {     if( !localStorage.getItem('firstLoad') )     {       localStorage['firstLoad'] = true;       window.location.reload();     }       else       localStorage.removeItem('firstLoad');   } })();  </script>
