Common Issues and Troubleshooting Guide

Updated this week

Pages Not Publishing

Symptoms: You click Publish, but the page does not go live or shows an error.

  • Check that your domain is correctly connected in Settings → Domain. If the domain shows a red or pending status, follow the steps in the Connecting a Custom Domain article.

  • Check your plan limits. On the Free plan, you can only have 1 live campaign at a time. On Standard, 1 live campaign per month. If you have reached your limit, you will need to pause another campaign or upgrade.

  • Try refreshing the page and publishing again. If the problem persists, contact support via the chat widget.

404 Errors (Page Not Found)

Symptoms: Visitors see a "404 Not Found" error when trying to access your pages.

  • Confirm the campaign is in the Published state, not Draft.

  • Check that the domain setup is complete and verified.

  • If using a reverse proxy, verify the proxy configuration is forwarding requests to the correct Psyke origin URL.

  • Check if the page URL has changed — if so, set up a redirect from the old URL to the new one.

DNS Misconfiguration

Symptoms: Your subdomain is not loading or shows a connection error.

  • Confirm the CNAME record is set up correctly in your DNS provider (see Connecting a Custom Domain).

  • Check DNS propagation status at dnschecker.org. DNS changes can take up to 48 hours.

  • Make sure the CNAME target matches exactly what is shown in your Psyke domain settings.

SSL Errors (Security Warning)

Symptoms: Browsers show a security warning or padlock with an X when visiting your page.

  • Wait up to 30 minutes after DNS propagation — SSL certificates are provisioned automatically but take some time.

  • If using Cloudflare, ensure your DNS record is set to DNS only (grey cloud), not proxied (orange cloud).

  • If the issue persists after an hour, contact Psyke support.

Slow Page Load Times

Symptoms: Pages take more than 3–4 seconds to load.

  • Compress images before uploading — aim for images under 200KB where possible. Use a free tool like squoosh.app.

  • Minimise custom CSS and scripts. Remove unused tracking scripts.

  • Test your page speed with Google PageSpeed Insights for specific recommendations.

Indexing Delays

Symptoms: Your pages are published but do not appear in Google search results after several weeks.

  • Submit your sitemap in Google Search Console (see Connecting Google Search Console and Submitting Sitemaps).

  • Use the URL Inspection tool in Google Search Console and click Request Indexing for specific pages.

  • Check that your pages do not have a noindex tag set inadvertently.

Integration Failures

Symptoms: Form submissions are not appearing in your CRM or email tool.

  • Check the Zapier or Make scenario is turned on and has not hit an error.

  • Test the webhook by submitting the form again and checking the automation platform's activity log.

  • Confirm your API key or OAuth connection has not expired — reconnect if necessary.
