ALPHALINK SUPPORT & BEST PRACTICES
We recommend using Firefox or Google Chrome as your default browser for AlphaLink. Safari is a fine third option, but please avoid Internet Explorer as it won’t give you the best user experience.
Updating Your Browser
Out-of-date web browsers can cause issues for AlphaLink users. Browsers may update on their own, but other times you’ll need to do it manually. If you’re experiencing problems, we recommend checking if your browser is up to date by visiting What's My Browser.
Update Google Chrome by selecting the menu and clicking Update Google Chrome . If the button isn’t there, that means you’re already on the latest version. For more information on updating Chrome, continue here.
By default, Firefox is set to update automatically. However, it may be done manually by selecting Menu > About Firefox > Restart Firefox to Update. For more information on updating Firefox, continue here.
Clearing Your Cache
When you browse websites online, web browsers store, or “cache,” website data (like images and scripts) as a way to improve your experience. Clearing your web browser’s cache removes these stored assets, and this may help resolve issues.
To clear your cache in Google Chrome, click the menu and select More tools. Then click Clear browsing data. Make sure that the Cached image and files box is checked. See more details on clearing your cache in Chrome here.
To clear your cache in Mozilla Firefox, go to your Preferences and then find the Advanced panel. From there, click Clear Now in the Cached Web Content section. See more details on clearing your cache in Firefox here.
Restarting Your Computer
Computers should be restarted frequently to optimize performance and system health. “Turn it off and on again” is often tech support’s favorite piece of advice.
To restart a Mac/MacBook, select the Apple menu and click Restart. To restart a PC using Windows 10, open the start menu and click Power. From there, select the Restart option from the submenu.
