Troubleshooting

If the Boei chatbot doesn't appear on your site:

  • Hard-refresh the page (Cmd+Shift+R on Mac, Ctrl+Shift+R on Windows) to bypass browser cache.
  • Clear your caching plugin (WP Rocket, W3 Total Cache, LiteSpeed Cache) and Cloudflare if you use either.
  • Disable ad blockers in your test browser. Some block third-party scripts.

Common questions

Will it slow down my site? No, Boei loads asynchronously after your page renders.

Does it work on mobile? Yes, the chatbot is fully responsive.
