Are you finding that Spond Club is running slowly or experiencing other errors without any clear reason? These situations can be a bit frustrating, but there’s a simple solution that often helps: clearing your browser data, also known as cache, and cookies.
Cache and cookies are stored to make websites faster and more user-friendly. However, they can sometimes become outdated or conflict with new data. When this happens, it may cause the system to behave unexpectedly. By clearing these stored data, you give your browser a fresh start, which can often resolve the issue.
We’ve created a step-by-step guide to show you how to clear your browser data and cookies for your specific browser. If this doesn’t solve the problem, you’ll also find some additional tips further down in the article that might help.

Alternative problem-solving measures
If clearing the cache or cookies does not resolve the issue, you can try the following steps. We recommend following the points in the order listed for the best results:
Log out and back in again. Log out of your Spond Club profile and then log back in to refresh the connection.
Perform a “Hard Refresh”: A hard refresh forces the browser to reload a webpage while bypassing cached data. This ensures you see the most up-to-date version of the site and can resolve issues such as slow loading, errors, or outdated information.
Google Chrome, Firefox and Edge:Mac: Command + Shift + R
Windows: Ctrl + R
Safari:
Mac:
Option + Command + E
If you have not enabled Developer Tools in Safari, go to Safari in the top-left corner → Preferences → Advanced, and tick the box for Show Develop menu in the menu bar. You can then clear the cache as described above.
Command + R
Windows:
Safari is no longer available as a browser on Windows platforms
Close the browser completely and reopen it to give it a “fresh start”.
Use incognito mode in your browser. Incognito mode bypasses cache, extensions, and other local data that may cause issues, making it a useful tool for resolving unusual or localized errors.

Switch to a different browser or device, for example, from Firefox to Google Chrome, to check if the issue persists. If switching browsers does not resolve the problem, we recommend attempting to replicate the action on another device, if possible.
