Making A Browser Console Log Wait Until Page Reloads [A How-To Guide]

Too Long; Didn't Read

An open source JavaScript framework with a development server usually hot-reloads when you update files while the server is running. In the few cases where hot reloading isn’t possible and the page has to fully reload, you want to warn your users and explain why this is happening. But the moment it shows up in the console, the page reloads, and the browser clears it. Even if your user is eagle-eyed enough to notice your warning flash on the screen for a fraction of a second, it isn't there long enough to actually read.
