Canvas Quiz Troubleshooting Checklist
If Canvas feels slow or unstable during a quiz, small fixes can make a huge difference. Here’s a practical checklist you can run through quickly.
Quick checklist
- Use a stable network (prefer Wi‑Fi with strong signal).
- Close heavy tabs/apps and disable unnecessary extensions.
- Restart the browser before the quiz.
- Turn off VPN/proxy if it causes instability.
- Keep your device plugged in (avoid power-saving throttling).
If the quiz is lagging
- Close video streaming/music tabs.
- Try a fresh browser session.
- Switch to a wired connection if possible.
If the page reloads or disconnects
- Stabilize the connection (move closer to router / switch network).
- Avoid switching apps/tabs on mobile during the quiz.
- Let the page finish loading before clicking repeatedly.
These issues can show up in logs as repeated view events, focus changes, and timeline gaps.
FAQ
Will a reload show up in the quiz log?
Often the timeline will reflect it indirectly via view events, gaps, or technical markers (wording varies).
Are mobile quizzes more likely to reload?
Mobile browsers can reload tabs to save memory, especially after app switching or lock/unlock.
