Fix ClickUp Issues by Clearing Browser Cache, Cookies, and History
If pages are slow to load or features are not working correctly in ClickUp, clearing your browser cache, cookies, and history can often resolve these problems in just a few minutes.
This guide walks you through the exact steps to clear stored browsing data in the most popular browsers so you can quickly get ClickUp running smoothly again.
Why clearing browser data helps ClickUp
Your browser saves files, images, and small bits of data from websites to speed up future visits. Over time, this stored data can become outdated or corrupted and may cause loading errors, login issues, or unexpected behavior when you use ClickUp.
Clearing cache, cookies, and history removes this old data and forces your browser to load the latest resources. This is a standard troubleshooting step recommended before deeper investigation.
Before you clear data for ClickUp
Keep these points in mind before you remove your browsing data:
- You may be signed out of websites, including ClickUp and other apps.
- Saved site preferences can be reset.
- Some pages might load slower the first time after clearing the cache.
If you are comfortable with this, follow the steps for your browser below.
