pageload vs load event - The onpageshow event is similar to the onload event, except that it occurs after the onload event when the page first loads. Also, the onpageshow event occurs every time the page is loaded, whereas the onload event does not occur when the page is loaded from the cache.
Note that none of these will be triggered in a pure SPA (e.g. a React app governed by its own router)
