Browser Issues

Working with Support

Browser Issues

Performance issues can be related to an outdated browser, add-ons/extensions, VPN slowness, or specific configurations in browsers.

Please see our Browser Support page to find out if your browser and version are supported
What add-ons/plugins/extensions do you have running? Do any of them check against or flat-out disable javascript? These types of extensions will definitely cause page load errors. Loading a page in an incognito or InPrivate Window can help determine if a plug-in/add-on/extension is causing the issue.
Is Internet Explorer slow?
Use Google Chrome, it tends to have better performance than Microsoft Edge, Firefox, or Safari.

Networking Issues

Anything from your personal networking equipment to your local service provider can result in high latency and slow load times. This is most likely a factor if you experience load-time issues at one location or machine but not another (i.e. it's fine at work, but slow from home).

Things to check:

Is your computer hard wired or using wireless to access the internet? Wireless is sometimes less performant.
Are you experiencing slow load times on websites other than Rally?
Test your connection speed at http://www.bandwidthplace.com/
Is there an unusually large amount of network activity happening when trying to access your subscription (streaming, downloading, etc.) that is concurrent with your slow load times?
Has your ISP (Internet Service Provider) reported any issues/outages in the area?
Does your connection to your modem/router drop frequently?
Flush your DNS and release/renew your IP address if you are having overall latency issues (not just with your subscription).
