Documents won't upload to portal: The platform accepts PDF, JPG, and PNG files up to 10MB. Compress large files using online tools or split multi-page documents. Check your file name contains no special characters or umlauts. Switch browsers if uploads keep failing—Chrome and Firefox work best. Ensure your internet connection is stable during the upload process.
Page loads slowly or times out: Your connection might be unstable. Run a speed test to verify you have at least 5 Mbps download speed. Restart your router by unplugging it for 30 seconds. Close unnecessary browser tabs and applications consuming bandwidth. Try accessing the portal during off-peak hours, typically early morning or late evening. If the problem continues, switch to mobile data to rule out your home network.
