Make window.location.href load page from Server instead from browser cache

Question

I am making a redirect using window.location.href to Listing view after an Item is added to DB after successful CREATE operation.

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.

its simply `window.location.href = "http://www.mywebsite.com/products"` — Umair Ayub, Jul 23 '16 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, Jul 23 '16 at 18:26

You can use this:

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

Or:

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

Oh, my friend, you miss-understand the purpose ! This is not a gif/css/js file :D please read the article you have posted @CharlesAddis. USING QUERYSTRING **WILL NOT** PREVENT RESOURCES IN THE PAGE FROM BEING CACHED but JUST THE PAGE ITSELF! and THAT'S THE GOAL OF THE OP !! please remove the downvote ! – Ismail RBOUH Jul 23 '16 at 18:38
