Web app usage tips
To get the most out of our application, here are some general tips and best practices that can improve your experience:
1. Keep your browser updated
Using the latest version of your browser ensures you benefit from security updates, performance improvements, and compatibility with the latest web standards. Chrome and Firefox update automatically, so restarting the browser periodically helps apply these updates.
2. Clear browser cache regularly
Cached files can sometimes cause display or functionality issues as our app updates. If you encounter problems, clearing the browser cache is often a quick way to resolve them. (Settings > Privacy and Security > Clear Browsing Data).
3. Enable JavaScript and cookies
Our app relies on JavaScript and cookies to function correctly. Ensure these are enabled in your browser settings for full functionality.
4. Disable unnecessary browser extensions
Some browser extensions can interfere with web applications by blocking certain scripts or content. If you encounter issues, try disabling extensions one by one to identify any that may be causing conflicts.
5. Use a stable internet connection
A reliable internet connection is essential for a smooth experience. If possible, use a wired connection or strong Wi-Fi signal to minimize interruptions and avoid delays.
6. Close unnecessary tabs
Running too many open tabs can consume system resources and impact the performance of our app. To keep the app running smoothly, close any tabs you’re not using, especially if they’re running other resource-intensive web applications.
7. Restart your browser and device regularly
Periodically restarting your browser or device can free up memory, apply updates, and resolve minor issues that may affect performance.
8. Adjust browser settings if experiencing slow performance
In case of lag, you may adjust your browser’s hardware acceleration settings (Settings > System > Enable/Disable Hardware Acceleration) as it can sometimes improve performance, depending on your device.
9. Report issues promptly
If you encounter a problem that persists after trying the tips above, please reach out to our support team with details about the issue (see the Need help? section for more information). Reporting issues promptly helps us improve the app and support experience for all users.
