One way would be to initialize a variable to false on page load, and then on
your popstate event, check that variable. If it’s still false, set it to true
and do nothing. From then on all of your other popstate events should be only
from back/forward events.
var loaded = false;window.onpopstate = function(e) { if (!loaded) { loaded = true; return; } else { // run your stuff... }}
