Is there a safe way to check if the user has logged into the application rather than checking if sid cookie exists in user's machine ?

I want to allow the user to proceed on certain links on a page only if they have logged in.

I do the login validation on the server side but want to avoid the request trip.

Pure JS or JQuery solution would be appreciated.

Thank you.

Please try this

Put this code after user first log in

jQuery(window).load(function() {

  sessionStorage.setItem('status','loggedIn') 

});

When ever user clicks a link you can check like

if (sessionStorage.getItem('status') != null))

    //redirect to page

}

else{

    //show validation message

}
