Connection Issues
Solutions for offline mode problems, data loading issues, and connection troubleshooting.
How Data Loading Works
TeeckIn caches your data locally for fast loading and offline viewing. When you're online, data is fetched from the server and cached. When offline, you can view cached data but cannot make changes.
Connection Status
Online — Connected, all features available
Offline — Viewing cached data, changes unavailable
Data Loading Issues
Problem: Data not appearing or outdated
You're online but data isn't loading, or you're seeing stale information.
Possible causes:
- Network connection is unstable
- Browser cache is serving old data
- Server is temporarily unavailable
Solutions:
- 1Check your internet connection
- 2Refresh the page to fetch fresh data
- 3Try a hard refresh (Ctrl+Shift+R or Cmd+Shift+R)
- 4If issues persist, try logging out and back in
Problem: Real-time updates not appearing
Team members' changes aren't appearing in your view, or you need to refresh to see updates.
Possible causes:
- Real-time connection was interrupted
- Firewall or network blocking WebSocket connections
- Browser tab was suspended (background tabs may pause connections)
Solutions:
- 1Refresh the page to re-establish the real-time connection
- 2Check if your network allows WebSocket connections
- 3Try disabling browser extensions that might block connections
- 4If on a corporate network, check with IT about WebSocket policies
Note
Offline Mode Issues
Problem: Can't view anything while offline
When you lose internet connection, TeeckIn shows loading states or errors instead of cached data.
Possible causes:
- You haven't loaded the app while online first
- Browser storage is full or disabled
- Private/incognito mode limits offline storage
Solutions:
- 1Load TeeckIn at least once while online to cache the app
- 2Check that your browser allows local storage for teeckin.com
- 3Avoid using private/incognito mode if you need offline viewing
- 4Check browser storage quota — you may need to free space
Problem: Data missing while offline
When offline, you can't see entries or topics that you know exist.
Possible causes:
- That data wasn't loaded while you were online
- Browser cache was cleared
- Storage quota exceeded
Solutions:
- 1While online, navigate to all pages you need access to offline
- 2This ensures the data is cached locally
- 3Recent data and frequently accessed pages are prioritized for caching
Tip
Problem: Can't make changes while offline
You're trying to start a timer, add an entry, or edit data while offline, but it's not working.
This is expected behavior:
TeeckIn requires an internet connection to make changes. While offline, you can view your cached data but cannot start timers, add entries, or make edits.
What to do:
- 1Wait until you have internet access to make changes
- 2Note down what you need to track (you can add it manually later)
- 3Once online, use manual entry to log time retroactively
Browser Storage Issues
Problem: Storage quota exceeded error
You see an error about storage being full or quota exceeded.
Solutions:
- 1Clear cached data for other websites you don't use
- 2In browser settings, check storage used by teeckin.com
- 3If storage is very large, contact support — there may be a data issue
- 4Consider exporting old data and clearing history you no longer need
