To ensure that your BrowserSync task continues to work as expected and does not get stuck after the first use, you can follow these best practices:

1. Always use the reload method rather than stream method to refresh the page. The reload method will make sure that BrowserSync reloads your page completely instead of just reloading parts of it.

2. Make sure to close your BrowserSync instance and all other tasks when your Gulp task finishes. This is important as failing to close BrowserSync instances can cause unnecessary memory usage and lead to performance issues.

3. Use the gulp.watch function to automatically reload your page when changes are made to your files. This will ensure that your page is always up-to-date.

4. Avoid chaining multiple tasks with BrowserSync as this can cause conflicts and lead to BrowserSync not working as expected.

5. Always upgrade your dependencies to the latest version to ensure that you are running the most stable and reliable versions of BrowserSync and other packages.

By following these best practices, you can ensure that your BrowserSync task continues to work smoothly and efficiently in your Gulp process.
