Page not loading or app is sluggish

When something breaks in the browser: cache, dev tools, errors.

1

Hard refresh

Most app issues clear with a hard refresh: Ctrl+Shift+R (Windows/Linux) or Cmd+Shift+R (Mac). This forces the browser to bypass its cache and re-download all assets.

2

Try an incognito window

If hard refresh didn't help, open an incognito / private window. Sign in there. If it works, the issue is with browser extensions or cached state in your normal profile. Clear site data on alttextstudio.com from your browser settings.

3

Check the console

Open DevTools (F12) → Console tab. Look for red errors. The most common: API request failures (suggesting a network issue), missing auth token (need to sign in again), or browser extension conflicts.

4

Disable browser extensions

Some privacy/blocker extensions interfere with auth or analytics. Try disabling all extensions, refresh, see if it works. If yes, re-enable them one by one to find the culprit.

5

Status check

If the whole app is unresponsive (every request hangs), contact support. It's rare but our backend can have outages.

Reporting a bug? Use the Report a Bug page. Include browser version, what you were doing when it broke, and any error message from the console.
