Sometimes, issues on a webstore are caused by cached data, cookies, or browser extensions. Trying the site in Incognito (or Private Browsing) mode is a quick way to check if the problem is related to your browser’s stored data.
Why this helps:
- Bypasses cached files: Loads a fresh copy of the site.
- Disables most extensions: Prevents add-ons from interfering with the page.
- Avoids saved cookies: Helps test without stored login or session data.
If the webstore works fine in Incognito/Private mode, the issue is likely linked to your regular browser session, cache, cookies, or an extension.
