If you’re seeing a “Failed to fetch” error, it typically means your browser briefly lost its connection to our servers.

### Why this happens

In most cases, it’s caused by a short network interruption, such as:

- **VPN usage:** Some VPNs can block or drop connections unpredictably

- **Weak Wi-Fi:** A momentary signal drop while the page is loading

- **Timeouts:** Your internet connection cuts out during a request (like saving or searching)

### How to fix it (and identify the cause)

Try these quick steps to troubleshoot:

1. **Check with your team**  
See if others are experiencing the same issue. If not, it’s likely something local to your device or network.

2. **Identify when it happens**  
Does it occur during a specific action (like clicking a button), or randomly while pages load?

3. **Disable your VPN**  
If the issue stops, your VPN configuration is likely the cause.

4. **Test your connection**  
Switch to a more stable Wi-Fi network or try a mobile hotspot to confirm whether your connection is the issue.

> **Pro-Tip:** If a simple **page refresh** fixes the problem, it was likely just a temporary internet “blink.” If it happens every single time you click the same button, reach out to Omni Support!
