How To: Test and Troubleshoot Platform Issues

Updated over 2 months ago

This troubleshooting guide contains an outline of steps the customer can take to troubleshoot any platform issues, such as slowness or continuous loading, and information Stensul needs to troubleshoot further. These steps can be particularly useful in scenarios where only some users are experiencing issues.

Troubleshooting Steps for Customers


Browser & Device Troubleshooting

  • Browser Environment

    • Try Incognito Mode (to bypass cache/extensions)

    • Switch to a different browser

    • Switch to a different device

    • Try without Extensions: e.g., uBlock, Privacy Badger can block platform scripts unintentionally.

    • Check for errors in DevTools Console

    • Clear cache and cookies

  • HAR File Generation

    • HAR files can help debug slow loading, blocked requests, or errors in resources.

    • Stensul will almost always request a HAR file.

Networking Troubleshooting

  • Test Alternate Network Conditions

    • Try accessing from outside the corporate network

    • Switch between Wi-Fi (company/guest), 4G/5G, and Ethernet

    • Disable VPN if used

  • Network Diagnostics

    • Run and share results of the following commands:

    nslookup becu.stensul.com 
    ping becu.stensul.com
    tracert becu.stensul.com
  • Optional

    • Test from a mobile hotspot to rule out office network issues

    • Test on a personal device outside of corporate network to isolate corporate configuration issues

Org-Specific Setup IT Questions

  • Device Configuration

    • Are there enforced IT policies on affected devices?

    • Are Windows Defender or other security suites active?

    • Any browser extensions that could block requests?

  • Authentication / Identity

    • Are users logging in via SSO (SAML)?

    • Any changes to IdP configuration recently?

  • Monitoring Tools

    • Are there firewalls, network sniffers, or traffic blockers at play?

    • Internal tools (e.g., Zscaler, Cisco Umbrella) may block or inspect traffic

Login Troubleshooting

  • If available, try logging into Stensul via a different method to isolate SSO issues
