Diagnosing problems with websites

Is a website only loading partially? You can use the domain log to troubleshoot it.

First, turn on domain logging permission on your device by:

  • Logging in to your dashboard
  • Click on the devices link.
  • Find the device you are on and click edit.
  • Change logging to either “View all” or “View own”.
  • Visit http://mytools.management and click on “Domain Log”. Within a few minutes, your device should be authorized and log entries should appear.

The domain log shows you in real-time host names that are being accessed on your network and whether or not they are allowed or not. For a site that isn’t displaying quite right, you can see the various domains that are being blocked. The “Rule Applied” column shows why domains are treated the way they are.

If a domain is being blocked by a blacklist, remove it from that blacklist.

If a domain is being blocked by a whitelist, there should be an airplane icon next to the rule. Click on it to send an unblock request. From your dashboard you can then approve the unblock requests.

You guided me to fix quite a few skeleton websites, as I call them
