To ensure the best experience when using Acuity Insights, please follow these guidelines for browsers, devices, and troubleshooting.

Browser requirements

  • Use a desktop or laptop (not smartphones or tablets).

  • Use the latest version of Chrome or Firefox.

  • Unsupported browsers (Safari, Microsoft Edge, etc.) may not work properly with assessments or tools like the System Requirements Check and test reservation.


Browser troubleshooting tips

  • If one browser doesn’t work (e.g., Chrome), try the other (e.g., Firefox).

  • Disable browser extensions or VPNs as they may block some website features.

  • If you're on a school or work network, network restrictions may interfere with parts of the site. Try switching to a different network.

  • Check your internet speed (You need a high speed internet connection with a bitrate of at least 1.5 Mbps)

  • Use Incognito/Private Mode to avoid issues caused by stored cache or cookies:

    • Chrome: Ctrl + Shift + N (Windows) or ⌘ + Shift + N (Mac)

    • Firefox: Ctrl + Shift + P (Windows) or ⌘ + Shift + P (Mac)

  • For payment issues, try clearing cookies, using Incognito/Private Mode, or switching browsers.

  • Make sure your browser is updated to the latest version.


Device compatibility tips

  • Mobile devices such as smartphones or tablets (like iPads) are not supported.

  • 2-in-1/hybrid laptops (like Microsoft Surface) may work, but users often experience webcam issues during Casper test.

    • If your device has both a front and rear camera, use Firefox for Casper.
