I just used windows.location.replace(newUrl) and it removed the page from the history and fix it.

Using javascript

Response.Cache.SetNoStore(); or window.history.forward(1);

This will disable to back button functionality. also maintian some session value which will be set to empty in case of back button click. like below one.

<%
  Response.Buffer = True
  Response.ExpiresAbsolute = Now() - 1
  Response.Expires = 0
  Response.CacheControl = "no-cache"

  If Len(Session("FirstTimeToPage")) > 0 then
    'The user has come back to this page after having visited
    'it... wipe out the session variable and redirect them back
    'to the login page
    Session("FirstTimeToPage") = ""
    Response.Redirect "/Bar.asp"
    Response.End
  End If
%>

You can check the referrer and match on the loading page. If the referrer is the page that was the page "after" the loading page, you can assume that the user pressed back.

You can do this on the server or in javascript, example (pseudo) in JS:

if ( document.referrer.test(/[URL]/) ) {
    window.location = '/';
}
