Diagnosis

The following chart will guide you in identifying the root cause of the issue and provide tips on how to troubleshoot each.

Root Causes

• Network connection issues
• Browser related issues

Prerequisites

• Administrator privileges on the computer, network, or server.

Known Solutions

A. Troubleshoot Network Connection Issues

The key to understanding the root cause is in the error message, so you can focus your investigation on that specific error. This section is intended for server or network admins.

• Check web server logs (Performed by server admins.)
• Check Kayako error logs (Kayako admin login is required)
  1. Log in to Kayako Admin CP.
  2. Select Logs from the Options menu.

Analyze the logs to pinpoint the possible root cause. If the root cause is due to problems with your network connection, continue to troubleshoot based on your protocols. 

B. Check Network Connection Speed

If the problem is experienced by isolated users who are on a different network, consider checking their ISP's actual connection speed. 

If the user is experiencing slowness and latency on whatever application they use while on the internet, that's a symptom that their connection speed could be the culprit. You can use online speed testing tools to check the actual connection speed.

If you identify a problem with the user's connection speed, contact the ISP or network provider for assistance.

C. Troubleshoot the Browser

Use a Different Browser

Check whether the website works on a different browser or not.

1. Open a different browser.
2. Access your Kayako Classic website.
3. Try to navigate with Kayako to see if it works.

If the site works in another browser, this means that the original browser is the culprit.
