We are excited to announce the launch of updated product names, logos, and headers within our user interfaces as part of the CivicPlus® Solution Rebranding initiative. These changes mark the first step toward creating a cohesive and seamless user experience across all solutions in our portfolio. As part of this transition, users may notice minor design updates. While the functionality you rely on remains unchanged, we are in the process of updating screenshots and other resources on our Help Centers to reflect the new branding. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we work to complete these updates.

Slow Site Troubleshooting

Troubleshooting a Slow Site

If your site has slow loading times, we have a few steps to follow to help us better troubleshoot. We will need you to answer the following questions and then contact us. The easiest way to accomplish this would be to open an email, copy the information below, and answer the questions from there before submitting.

  1. Please go to speedtest.net for a bandwidth test. Use 2 locations, one closer to you, and one closer to Kansas City.
  2. Please save the PerformanceTest.txt file (attached below) to your desktop. Before running please save and rename this file, changing the .txt extension to .bat. After running the .bat (by double-clicking), you will have to wait a few minutes before it completes. Once completed, you will have results.txt saved on your desktop. Attach this Results.txt to your response email.
  3. Please run a traceroute to the website URL and/or IP address (You may need to contact your IT team to request a traceroute)
  4. Please run a pathping to the website URL and/or IP Address
