3. Troubleshooting Guide

Common Scenarios & Solutions:

Scenario 1: Build Process Issues

Symptom: npm run build fails with errors

Solutions:

# Step 1: Clear cache and reinstall
rm -rf node_modules package-lock.json
npm install

# Step 2: Clear Next.js cache
rm -rf .next

# Step 3: Verify environment variables
# Ensure all required variables in .env file

# Step 4: Check Node version
node --version  # Should be 20.x or higher

# Step 5: Rebuild
npm run build

Common Build Errors:

• "Module not found" → Run npm install
• "TypeError: Cannot read property" → Check environment variables
• "Memory heap out of space" → Increase Node memory: NODE_OPTIONS=--max_old_space_size=4096 npm run build

Scenario 2: Styles Not Appearing

Symptom: Website loads but appears unstyled

Solutions:

1. Check file upload:

   • Ensure _next/static/css/ directory uploaded
   • Verify file permissions (644)

2. Browser cache:

   • Hard refresh: Ctrl+Shift+R (Windows) or Cmd+Shift+R (Mac)
   • Clear browser cache completely

3. Server configuration:

   • Verify .htaccess uploaded (Apache)
   • Check nginx configuration (Nginx)
   • Ensure MIME types configured for CSS

4. CDN/CloudFlare:

   • Purge cache in CloudFlare dashboard
   • Wait 5-10 minutes for propagation

Scenario 3: Contact Forms Not Sending

Symptom: Form submits but no email received

Solutions:

Check 1: Environment Variables

# Verify in .env or hosting dashboard:
RESEND_API_KEY=your_key_here
RESEND_FROM_EMAIL=your_email_here
RESEND_TO_EMAIL=destination_email_here

Check 2: Resend API Status

• Login to https://resend.com/overview
• Check API key is active
• Review delivery logs
• Verify sending domain status

Check 3: Email Delivery

• Check spam/junk folder
• Verify recipient email address
• Review Resend dashboard for bounce/reject logs

Check 4: API Route

• Test API endpoint directly: /api/contact
• Check browser console for errors
• Review network tab for failed requests

Workaround:

• Temporarily change RESEND_TO_EMAIL to test email
• Check if emails arrive at different address
• Contact Resend support if persistent issues

Scenario 4: Chatbot Not Responding

Symptom: Chatbot opens but doesn't send/receive messages

Solutions:

Check 1: GROQ API Key

# Verify environment variable
GROQ_API_KEY=your_groq_key_here

Check 2: API Quota

• Login to https://console.groq.com
• Check usage limits
• Verify API key is active
• Review rate limits

Check 3: Browser Console

• Open DevTools (F12)
• Check Console tab for errors
• Look for API call failures
• Verify network requests

Check 4: Alternative API Key

• Try backup GROQ API key if available
• Generate new API key if needed

Scenario 5: Videos Not Playing

Symptom: Video backgrounds show black screen or don't load

Solutions:

Check 1: File Upload

• Verify video files uploaded to server
• Check paths: /images/Banner/ or Supabase storage
• Ensure both .mp4 and .webm formats available

Check 2: Server MIME Types Configure video MIME types:

# In .htaccess
AddType video/mp4 .mp4
AddType video/webm .webm

Check 3: File Size

• Videos may be too large for server
• Re-optimize: npm run optimize:banners:balanced
• Consider hosting on CDN

Check 4: Browser Compatibility

• Test in different browsers
• iOS Safari may have restrictions
• Provide poster image fallback

Scenario 6: 404 Errors on Direct Links

Symptom: Homepage works but direct page URLs show 404

Solutions:

For Apache:

1. Verify .htaccess file uploaded
2. Ensure mod_rewrite enabled on server
3. Check file contains rewrite rules
4. Verify Apache configuration allows .htaccess overrides

For Nginx:

1. Add try_files directive to nginx.conf
2. Configure error pages
3. Reload nginx: nginx -s reload

For Vercel/Netlify:

• Deployment handles routing automatically
• No configuration needed

Scenario 7: Slow Page Load Times

Symptom: Pages take more than 3-5 seconds to load

Solutions:

Server-Side:

1. Enable Compression:

   • Apache: Enable mod_deflate
   • Nginx: Enable gzip in config
   • CloudFlare: Enable compression

2. Implement CDN:

   • Setup CloudFlare
   • Configure caching rules
   • Enable auto-minification

3. Optimize Server:

   • Check server resources
   • Upgrade hosting plan if needed
   • Enable HTTP/2

Asset-Side: 4. Optimize Media:

npm run optimize:all

5. Lazy Loading:

   • Already implemented for images
   • Videos load on viewport entry

6. Code Optimization:

   • Remove unused dependencies
   • Enable production build optimizations

Monitoring:

• Use GTmetrix or Pingdom
• Identify bottlenecks
• Address largest issues first

4. Adding New Features

How to Add New Capabilities:

2. Copy Measurement ID (G-XXXXXXXXXX)

Step 2: Add to Website

// File: /app/layout.tsx
import Script from 'next/script'

export default function RootLayout({ children }) {
  return (
    <html>
      <head>
        <Script
          strategy="afterInteractive"
          src={`https://www.googletagmanager.com/gtag/js?id=${process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_GA_ID}`}
        />
        <Script id="google-analytics" strategy="afterInteractive">
          {`
            window.dataLayer = window.dataLayer || [];
            function gtag(){dataLayer.push(arguments);}
            gtag('js', new Date());
            gtag('config', '${process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_GA_ID}');
          `}
        </Script>
      </head>
      <body>{children}</body>
    </html>
  )
}

Step 3: Add Environment Variable

NEXT_PUBLIC_GA_ID=G-XXXXXXXXXX

Step 4: Rebuild and Deploy

Adding reCAPTCHA to Forms:

Library: Already included in dependencies

// In form component:
const [captchaToken, setCaptchaToken] = useState<string | null>(null)

<ReCAPTCHA
  sitekey={process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_RECAPTCHA_SITE_KEY}
  onChange={setCaptchaToken}
/>

Step 3: Verify in API Route

// File: /app/api/contact/route.ts
// Add verification before sending email
const verifyResponse = await fetch(
  `https://www.google.com/recaptcha/api/siteverify`,
  {
    method: 'POST',
    headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded' },
    body: `secret=${process.env.RECAPTCHA_SECRET_KEY}&response=${captchaToken}`
  }
)

// Create new file: /app/(marketing)/YourNewService/page.tsx

export const metadata = {
  title: 'Your New Service | APLUSLOOP',
  description: 'Service description for SEO',
}

export default function YourNewServicePage() {
  return (
    <div>
      {/* Your service content */}
    </div>
  )
