How to force a page to reload if all what was changed in url is hash?

Another option is to remove the hash and store it in session storage to be retrieved on reload:

var newUrl = location.href + '#myHash';
var splitUrl = newUrl.split('#');
newUrl = splitUrl[0];
if (splitUrl[1]){
    sessionStorage.savedHash = splitUrl[1];
}
location.href = newUrl;

and then on top of your page you can have the following code:

var savedHash = sessionStorage.savedHash;
if (savedHash){
    delete sessionStorage.savedHash;
    location.hash = savedHash;
}
