WordPress Refresh on Update

// To be used in conjunction with the wordpress rest api plugin //https://wordpress.org/plugins/json-rest-api/ /*Refreshed page on page update*/ <script type="text/javascript"> var date_modified = null; poll("<?php echo site_url() ?>/wp-json/wp/v2/<?php echo $post->post_type ?>s/<?php echo $post->ID ?>", 3000); </script>
Initially this was to be used with the Rest API plugin but Rest is native now with WP so you don't need the plugin anymore.

How does it work?
@God is good The code above uses the REST API plugin as sort of a heart beat. So you would add the code to your index.php, or page.php for example. When you publish or when you update the page the clients computer will automatically refresh.
@God is good Sorry I'm wrong about that you don't need the first part, that's for something else. So I deleted that. You only need the one script currently above. It polls the site every three seconds. When it sees a change it will automatically refresh the client machine with the new changes.
