How do I troubleshoot performance issues in Backbone?

Updated over a year ago

Sometimes things don't always work as they should. If you're not seeing something appear or you encounter a performance issue, try out some of these solutions.

Refresh the Page

It sounds simple but sometimes this solution is often overlooked.

Log out and Log back in

This is essentially the equivalent to turning it off and back on. We can't put backbone in a bag of rice so this is the next best try.

Try an incognito tab/window

This is like clearing your cache/cookies without actually clearing it. Nothing shady going on here.

After that, if you are experiencing slow page loading times using backboneapp.co please check the following:

Clear Your Browser Cache

  • Internet browsers often become slow and experience lag times due to Cookies and Cache data. Clearing your browser Cache and Cookies frequently may resolve slow loading times on Backbone PLM.

  3. Inside the More ⋮ menu select More Tools > Clear Browsing Data.

  4. In the “Clear browsing data” box, click the checkboxes for Cookies and other site data and Cached images and files.

  5. Use the menu at the top to select the amount of data that you want to delete. Choose beginning of time to delete everything. Note: This option does not appear on all devices.

  6. Click Clear browsing data

Disable Browser Extensions
