You can try setTimeout()

setTimeout(function() {
      // Do something after 5 seconds
      location.reload();//reload page
}, 5000);

`setTimeout` is generic JavaScript, not a jQuery-specific feature. – James Donnelly Sep 22 '14 at 11:33

Use meta tag like <meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="300"> This wiil make your page to refresh every 5minutes (5*60)
