How do you force a script to refire on every page load in Discourse?

I think you can use the PluginAPI onPageChange function to do what you are looking for. See: Using the PluginAPI in Site Customizations

Here’s an example function:

<script type="text/discourse-plugin" version="0.8">
    api.onPageChange(() =>{
        randBackground();
    });
    
    function randBackground() {
        $('body').css('background-color', '#'+(Math.random()*0xFFFFFF<<0).toString(16));
    }
</script>

Update: If you are looking to apply similar changes to post bodies, see post #26 below.
