Karan Rajput you will have to send get parameters along with the url. You can maybe send the name of the page, or maybe the full URL. Something like this window.location = "/signup?came_from_page=products" And then from the signup page, you can get the parameters using window.location.search let get_params = window.location.search And after successfully signing up, you can send the user back to the page he/she came from by doing window.location = whatever_the_params_you_got Also, a side note. You said that Lily Mea 's answer works, but doesn't reload the page. You can reload the page by doing window.location.reload()

Instead of making the browser go two pages back, you can just go to the url of the page like this window.location = url

But sometimes i want to send back user to home page, sometimes to category page, and sometimes to product page. So do you have an solution for this?

Karan Rajput I'm not sure how to achieve what you are asking for. But I'll just like to add that when you use window.location, you can navigate through the pages of the current website. For example, if you are on the url "www.website.com/user", you can go to "www.website.com/products" just be doing window.location = "/products" So while making your website, you will have certain patterns, for example "www.website.com/category" for category page, "www.website.com/home" for home page. With window.location you can easily navigate through them

XXX but then how will i know that from which page user has come to sign in. Imagine youre shopping at amazon, you were finding a product and after 10-15 minutes you found the product you was looking for. But you'll have to register before buying so you registered and then amazon redirected you to home page. Your time got wasted and maybe you'll not buy anything because of this. Im too making an shopping site.

Karan Rajput yes window.location.reload() reloads the current page only. You can first go back 2 pages and then reload the page.
