Quick checks first
If SkillSwap isn't loading or the page is stuck on a spinner, start with these simple checks:
- Make sure you're connected to the internet.
- Confirm you're opening app.skillswap.io in a modern browser (Chrome, Edge, Safari, Firefox).
- Try reloading the page once or twice (Cmd/Ctrl + R).
Step 1 — Try a private/incognito window
Sometimes browser extensions, cached data or cookies can interfere with loading.
- Open an Incognito/Private window in your browser.
- Go to app.skillswap.io and try signing in again.
If SkillSwap works in incognito but not in your normal window, the problem is likely cache, cookies or an extension.
Step 2 — Clear cache & cookies for SkillSwap
Clearing cached data for the site often fixes loading loops or blank screens.
- Open your browser settings.
- Find the option to clear site data / cookies for
app.skillswap.io. - Reload the page and sign in again.
Step 3 — Disable aggressive extensions
Ad blockers, script blockers, VPNs or privacy extensions can sometimes block necessary resources.
- Temporarily disable ad-block / script-block extensions for
app.skillswap.io. - Refresh the page and see if it loads normally.
Step 4 — Try another browser or device
If possible, try SkillSwap from another browser (e.g. Chrome instead of Safari) or another device.
- If it loads on a different browser: the issue is with your original browser setup.
- If it doesn't load anywhere: it could be a temporary issue or connectivity problem.
