Having issues using GoCo? Here are some tips on how to fix it!
Supported Browsers
GoCo supports the major browsers available online today, so long as they are actively supported by their companies. This means that Microsoft's Internet Explorer series is no longer supported by GoCo, as it is no longer supported by Microsoft.
If it is your first time using GoCo, make sure you do not have an onboarding email from us. You will not be able to reset a password until you have used the onboarding email to create a GoCo account.
Check your spam or junk folders.
If using a company email, make sure that the delivery was not held up in your company's firewall or filter. You'll want to talk to your IT team regarding this option.
Clearing Your Cache
Simple but effective!
The very first time you visit any page on the internet, your browser downloads the site logo and other items into the cache and then displays it as part of the page you’re viewing. For each additional page you visit, as long as the same logo is displayed, it doesn’t need to be downloaded again — it’s already on your hard disk.
That's really all there is to it- it's a way for a website to speed things up for you. It's usually not an issue, and transparent to you...but once in a while, it may break.
Below are instructions on how to clear your cache for all of GoCo's supported browsers (You will find a list of those further down this article).
