Reload Correct Use:

cy.reload()

cy.reload() yields the window object after the page reloading.

Let us take a look at some of the examples with  arguments:

describe('Automate AutoPract',()=>{
    it('Should load the url',()=>{
        cy.visit('http://www.autopract.com/#/home/fashion')
        cy.reload()   
    })

This will reload the page autopract.

describe('Automate AutoPract',()=>{
    it('Should load the url',()=>{
        cy.visit('http://www.autopract.com/#/home/fashion')
        cy.reload(true)
        
    })

This will force reload the page without cache as the true argument is passed inside.
