Zoho is a remarkably stable platform, but every so often something looks wrong. A button doesn't respond, an email doesn't sync, or a page won't load. Before assuming Zoho itself is at fault, it's worth running through a handful of quick checks. Doing so often rules Zoho out as the cause altogether, or at the very least gives you a clearer idea of what's actually happening, before you spend time raising a ticket.
This article is the starting point for our Check and Resolve series, a set of short, practical diagnostic guides. They aren't necessarily arranged in a strict troubleshooting order, so feel free to jump to whichever check feels most relevant to what you're experiencing.
What's in this series
- Is it your internet connection? A quick way to rule out connectivity problems before looking anywhere else.
- Is it your browser? Testing in another browser or incognito mode, and clearing your cache.
- Is it specific to your machine? Trying another device, where one is available.
- Are your colleagues affected too? Checking whether the issue is isolated to you or shared across your team.
- Is it every Zoho app, or just one? Narrowing down whether the problem is platform-wide or app-specific.
- Which data centre are you in? Why this matters and how to identify yours.
- Checking Zoho's status page. How to see whether Zoho is already aware of an issue in your data centre.
- Raising a support ticket properly. What to include, how to set priority correctly, and where to go for urgent issues.
- Using Zoho Annotator. A free tool for capturing and sharing exactly what you're seeing on screen.
- Troubleshooting slowness and performance issues. A more advanced look at what causes Zoho to feel sluggish.
- Is a third-party integration the real cause? How connected systems can create issues that look like they belong to Zoho.
