# reloadNuxtApp
> reloadNuxtApp will perform a hard reload of the page.
`reloadNuxtApp` will perform a hard reload of your app, re-requesting a page and its dependencies from the server.
By default, it will also save the current `state` of your app (that is, any state you could access with `useState`).
You can enable experimental restoration of this state by enabling the `experimental.restoreState` option in your `nuxt.config` file.
## Type
```ts [Signature]
export function reloadNuxtApp (options?: ReloadNuxtAppOptions)
interface ReloadNuxtAppOptions {
ttl?: number
force?: boolean
path?: string
persistState?: boolean
}
```
### `options` (optional)
**Type**: `ReloadNuxtAppOptions`
An object accepting the following properties:
- `path` (optional)
**Type**: `string`
**Default**: `window.location.pathname`
The path to reload (defaulting to the current path). If this is different from the current window location it
will trigger a navigation and add an entry in the browser history.
- `ttl` (optional)
**Type**: `number`
**Default**: `10000`
The number of milliseconds in which to ignore future reload requests. If called again within this time period,
`reloadNuxtApp` will not reload your app to avoid reload loops.
- `force` (optional)
**Type**: `boolean`
**Default**: `false`
This option allows bypassing reload loop protection entirely, forcing a reload even if one has occurred within
the previously specified TTL.
- `persistState` (optional)
**Type**: `boolean`
**Default**: `false`
Whether to dump the current Nuxt state to sessionStorage (as `nuxt:reload:state`). By default this will have no
effect on reload unless `experimental.restoreState` is also set, or unless you handle restoring the state yourself.
