With .reload(), when possible, you can try to force the reload from the browser cache:

Reloads the resource from the current URL. Its optional unique parameter is a Boolean, which, when it is true, causes the page to always be reloaded from the server. If it is false or not specified, the browser may reload the page from its cache.

For more information check here:

Also .reload() is not part of JQuery, it's a method of the Location interface:

Doesn't the Javascript version require two http requests to be made (the post request and then the reload) versus only one when submitting a form right away?
