#### cy.go()

To go back or forward in the browser's history, use the `cy.go()` command.

    cy.location('pathname').should('include', 'navigation')

    cy.go('back')
    cy.location('pathname').should('not.include', 'navigation')

    cy.go('forward')
    cy.location('pathname').should('include', 'navigation')

    // clicking back
    cy.go(-1)
    cy.location('pathname').should('not.include', 'navigation')

    // clicking forward
    cy.go(1)
    cy.location('pathname').should('include', 'navigation')

#### cy.reload()

To reload the page, use the `cy.reload()` command.

    cy.reload()

    // reload the page without using the cache
    cy.reload(true)

#### cy.visit()

To visit a remote page, use the `cy.visit()` command.

    cy.visit('http://localhost:8080/commands/navigation', {
      timeout: 50000, // increase total time for the visit to resolve
      onBeforeLoad: function(contentWindow){
        // contentWindow is the remote page's window object
      },
      onLoad: function(contentWindow){
        // contentWindow is the remote page's window object
      }
    })
