I usually reload the page using Ctrl+r, and some people like to use F5 (since some other applications use that key), but if you prefer the mouse, it's probably easiest to right-click a blank area of the page and click the circling-arrow icon along the top row of the context menu, versus moving the pointer all the way up to the toolbar.

There is a combined Stop/Reload/Go button that is positioned at the right end of the location/address bar.
- Stop button: while the page is loading
- Reload button: when the page has finished loading
- Go button: when you modify the location/address bar content
- Middle-click the Reload button to duplicate the current tab to a new tab

You can reload web page(s) and bypass the cache to refresh possibly outdated or corrupted files.
- Hold down the Shift key and left-click the Reload button at the right end of the location/address bar
- Press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
