Why Is My Document Not Loading?

Jul 30, 20262 min read

A blank viewer or endless spinner has a short list of causes — run through it before assuming the worst. 

1. Connection and Size 

Large multi-document requests take a moment on slow connections. Check your network; give a 40MB packet a few seconds of grace. 

2. Extension Interference 

Open the link in an incognito window. Loads fine there? A browser extension is blocking the viewer — allowlist Inkfree in your ad-blocker or privacy tool. 

3. The Request's Own State 

Links die for legitimate reasons: the request expired, was voided by the sender, or was completed/declined. If the page says as much, the document isn't broken — the request is closed. Check with the sender. 

4. Stale Cache 

Clear cache and cookies for the site (see the dedicated article), then reload. 

Still Blank? 

Note the time and the request ID and contact support — with those two details we can trace the exact event in server logs.
