Refreshing a page after certain delay in jquery

You don't even need jQuery or HTML5 for this:

setTimeout(location.reload.bind(location), 60000);

This will wait 1 minute (60,000 milliseconds), then call the location.reload function, which is a built-in function to refresh the page.


You may try this without js, it cycles:

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="5"/> <!-- 5 sec interval-->
<h1>Page refersh in every 5 seconds...</h1>

You can even navigate to a different page, visiting google home page

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="5;http://www.google.com"/> <!-- 5 sec delay-->
<h1>Redirecting in 5 seconds...</h1>

setTimeout(function(){
    window.location.reload(); // you can pass true to reload function to ignore the client cache and reload from the server
},delayTime); //delayTime should be written in milliseconds e.g. 1000 which equals 1 second

Update:

One-liner using ES6:

setTimeout(() => window.location.reload(), delayTime);
