You may occasionally run into issues with your report not loading on your computer, experience slow loading of photos and videos, or find that your changes aren't saving to contacts or reports.

Troubleshooting these web browser issues can involve a variety of steps, and the specific actions you take will depend on the nature of the problem you're experiencing.

Here's a general guide to help you troubleshoot common web browser issues.


1. Clear Browser Cache and Cookies:

2. Update Your Browser:

  • Make sure you are using the latest version of your browser. Outdated browsers may have compatibility issues.

    • Check for updates in the browser's settings or download the latest version from the official website.

3. Try Incognito/Private Mode:

  • Open a new incognito or private browsing window. This mode disables extensions and uses default settings, helping identify if an extension is causing the issue.

  • You can use a keyboard shortcut to open an Incognito window:

    • Windows, Linux, or Chrome OS: Press Ctrl + Shift + n.

    • Mac: Press ⌘ + Shift + n.

4. Disable Extensions:

  • Browser extensions can sometimes interfere with website functionality. Try disabling them and see if the problem persists.

    • Extensions can usually be managed through the browser's settings.

5. Check Internet Connection:

  • Ensure you have a stable internet connection. Try loading other websites to confirm it's not a connectivity issue.

  • Check your internet speed at speedtest.net

    • Upload speed is more important than download speed when it comes to syncing data/seeing any web-based changes.

    • Upload speeds under 10mbps are slow.

6. Reset Browser Settings:

  • If the problem persists, you may need to reset your browser settings to default.

    • Look for a "Reset" or "Restore settings to their original defaults" option in your browser settings.

7. Update Plugins:

  • Ensure that your browser plugins, such as Flash or Java, are up to date. Some websites may require these plugins to function properly.

8. Check Security Software:

  • Your antivirus or firewall settings could be blocking certain elements on websites. Temporarily disable them to check if they are the cause.

9. Try a Different Browser:

  • If the issue persists, try accessing the website using a different browser. This can help determine if the problem is browser-specific.

10. Review JavaScript and Cookies Settings:

  • Ensure that JavaScript is enabled, and your browser allows cookies. Some websites rely heavily on these technologies.

11. Clear Blocks:

  • If the Spectora Chat bubble is not showing where it should be, try clearing any blocks to app.spectora.com within your browser settings
