Reload the page in background Chrome (CDP)

What it does

The Reload command refreshes the active background Chrome tab (like pressing F5). You can enable ignore cache to force a full reload from the server.

When to use it

  • The page is stuck/temporarily broken and needs a reload before retrying.
  • Wait for new content to appear after a refresh.
  • Force the freshest data (ignore cache).

Configuration steps

  1. In Browser Mode (CDP), add the Browser › Reload command.
  2. Optionally enable Ignore cache.
  3. Add a Delay afterwards so the page finishes loading. Save.

Every option explained

Ignore cache

Enable to reload all resources from the server (like Ctrl+F5), bypassing the browser cache.

Real example

Example: wait for reloaded content

  1. Reload (ignore cache).
  2. Delay 2000ms.
  3. Smart HTML › IF element exists to check.

Tips & common mistakes

Always add a Delay or Smart HTML › Wait for element after Reload to be sure the page is ready.
