Webgility Freezes/Not Responding

Fix Issues with Webgility Desktop Freezing or Not Responding

While using the Webgility application, it may occasionally freeze or become unresponsive. This can happen for several reasons. Here are a few potential causes:

  • The batch size value for showing orders/products is large on the UI.

  • Webgility database size is large in memory.

  • Orders are getting accumulated either in the Posted tab or Archived tab and being reindexed, impacting the database refresh, which hangs the software.

  • The Database Machine doesn’t meet the recommended system configuration.

Troubleshooting Steps

To enhance the performance of the Webgility application, we recommend following the steps below:

1). RAM should be at least a minimum of 8 GB or higher. Your OS should be Windows 10 or higher, and C: Drive (where WD is installed) should have enough free space.

2). Check and verify the system performance status in Webgility Desktop with the System Matrix. Check system performance status in Webgility Desktop
