Performance, Viewer & Technical Issues

Viewer not loading, missing 3D, CT issues, scrolling, slowness, and simple recovery steps.

Updated this week

Page Not Loading or Blank Screen

Symptoms

  • Page stays blank

  • Infinite loading spinner

  • White screen

  • UI partially loads or doesn’t respond

What to try first

  1. Refresh the page (Ctrl/Cmd + R)

  2. Perform a hard refresh (Ctrl/Cmd + Shift + R)

  3. Open the platform in an incognito / private window

  4. Try a different browser (Chrome or Edge recommended)

  5. Disable browser extensions (especially ad blockers, privacy, or script blockers)

Still not loading?

  • Check your internet connection

  • Try switching networks (hospital Wi-Fi ↔ hotspot, if allowed)

  • Contact CustoMED support if the issue persists


Platform Feels Slow or Unresponsive

Symptoms

  • Buttons respond slowly

  • Delays when switching steps

  • Viewer interactions lag

Possible causes

  • Weak or unstable internet connection

  • Heavy browser load (many tabs open)

  • Hospital network throttling

  • Large case data being processed

Fix steps

  • Close unnecessary browser tabs and applications

  • Refresh the page

  • Try again after a few minutes

  • If possible, use a wired or more stable connection


DICOM Upload Is Very Slow

Symptoms

  • Upload progress is moving very slowly

  • Upload appears stuck but is still progressing

Important notes

  • DICOM files are often large

  • Upload speed depends heavily on your network

What to do

  1. Keep the browser tab open

  2. Do not lock your computer during upload

  3. Avoid switching networks mid-upload

  4. If possible, try uploading during off-peak hours

If upload speed is consistently very slow, consider:

  • Using a stronger connection

  • Uploading from a different location/device (if permitted)


Stuck on Anonymization for More Than 5 Minutes

Symptoms

  • Upload completes

  • Status stays on “Anonymizing” for more than ~5 minutes

What anonymization means

  • Anonymization is performed locally in your browser

  • Patient-identifying information is removed before upload

  • Duration depends on:

    • Scan size

    • Number of slices

    • Device performance

What to do

  1. Wait up to 5 minutes for large scans

  2. If it exceeds ~5 minutes:

    • Refresh the page

    • Restart the upload process

  3. Ensure:

    • Your browser is not throttled

    • Your device is not under heavy load

If anonymization repeatedly stalls:

  • Try another browser or device

  • Contact CustoMED support


Stuck on “Loading” or “Processing” Stage

Symptoms

  • Case stuck on “Loading…”

  • Progress does not change for a long time

Possible reasons

  • Temporary backend processing delay

  • Network interruption

  • Browser session issue

Fix steps

  1. Refresh the page

  2. Re-open the case from the Case Manager

  3. Confirm the upload step completed successfully

  4. Wait a few more minutes (some processing steps take time)

If the status does not change after several refreshes:

  • Contact CustoMED support with the case ID


Viewer Takes a Long Time to Load

Symptoms

  • 3D model or CT viewer loads very slowly

  • Viewer appears but elements are missing at first

What to do

  • Wait a few seconds after the page opens (large models take time)

  • Refresh the page once

  • Avoid rapidly switching steps while loading

  • Close other heavy applications

If viewer load time is consistently long:

  • Try another browser

  • Check network stability


Slow File Download

Symptoms

  • Downloads start slowly

  • Files take a long time to complete

  • Download appears stuck

Possible causes

  • Large STL or PDF files

  • Network throttling

  • Browser download restrictions

Fix steps

  1. Download one file at a time

  2. Disable pop-up blockers

  3. Try another browser

  4. Check if downloads are restricted by your organization’s IT policy


Download Doesn’t Start at All

Check first

  • Is the case or group approved?
    Downloads are locked until approval.

  • Are you in the correct group (for multi-group cases)?

Fix steps

  1. Confirm approval

  2. Switch to the correct group

  3. Refresh the page

  4. Try again


Unexpected Errors or Platform Freezes

What to do immediately

  1. Take note of:

    • What you were doing

    • Which step you were on

    • Approximate time

  2. Refresh the page

  3. Retry the action once

If the error repeats:

  • Capture a screenshot (if possible)

  • Contact CustoMED support


Best Practices to Avoid Performance Issues

  • Use Chrome or Edge

  • Keep browser and OS up to date

  • Avoid working with many heavy tabs open

  • Confirm steps before leaving a page

  • Refresh if something feels out of sync
