These issues usually occur due to factors such as unstable internet connection, outdated browser versions, excessive cached data, antivirus or firewall interference, or temporary server interruptions. To troubleshoot these problems, try the following:

2. Clear browser cache and cookies that may interfere with app performance, then reload StaffConnect.

5. Disable browser extensions that may block certain scripts or features.

7. Restart your device to refresh system resources and resolve temporary software conflicts.
8. Check your antivirus, firewall, or internet service provider settings to ensure they are not interfering with StaffConnect’s access.

2. Outdated or Incorrect Information Being Displayed in StaffConnect

In some cases, outdated or incorrect information or display issues may appear in StaffConnect. This can happen when your browser stores cached data that prevents new updates from loading properly. Don’t worry, this is easy to fix. Follow these steps to clear your browser cache and refresh your platform view.

1. Open your browser’s settings or developer tools.
2. Locate the cache or storage section.
3. Select the Cache storage or Application cache to clear.
4. Click Clear site data or the option to delete cached files.
5. Reload StaffConnect to display the most recent updates.

If the issue continues after clearing your cache, contact support@staffconnect.app and include your StaffConnect system URL, any visible errors, and a screenshot if possible.

3. Slow App Performance 

Just like outdated or incorrect information being displayed in your StaffConnect app, slow platform performance can also result from a full browser cache. Clearing it can often resolve lagging or slow loading times. Follow these steps to improve StaffConnect app performance:

1. Go to your browser settings or developer tools.
2. Find and clear cached data or application storage.
3. Refresh StaffConnect to check if performance improves.

If you experience ongoing performance problems after clearing the cache, it may be related to your browser or computer setup.

For browser troubleshooting, here are the steps.

1. Restart your browser.
2. Test StaffConnect in an incognito or private window.
3. Try using a different browser (Chrome or Firefox recommended).
4. Open your browser’s developer console to check for error messages.

For computer troubleshooting, follow these steps to identify and resolve the issue efficiently.
