When the page HAS been reloaded, not before:

Maybe you could use document.referrer for this?

$(function() {
   if(document.referrer === "") {
      //Your code here
   }
});

Check the following link. https://stackoverflow.com/a/10400239/3184797 It has stated that

If it is refreshing, window.onunload will fire.

// From MDN
window.onunload = unloadPage;
function unloadPage()
{
    alert("unload event detected!");
}

https://developer.mozilla.org/en/DOM/window.onunload

If you just want a confirmation box to allow them to stay, use this:

window.onbeforeunload = function() {
    return "Are you sure you want to navigate away?";
}
