Crunchyroll has millions of subscribers and is one of the best anime streaming platforms out there. Sadly, its performance issues can be really annoying!
Luckily, on several occasions, these can be easily fixed by clearing your cache and data.
If you’re wondering what these are, I got you! I always love to tell our readers to think of their cache and data as their app’s scrapbook. This is where Crunchyroll stores temporary information such as videos, fonts, images, and even login credentials.
By keeping this data handy, your app will load faster.
However, if there’s a problem with a file stored in your cache and data, Crunchyroll may crash or glitch. Don’t worry, though! You can easily clear your cache and data. Follow these simple steps to do it:
Moving on, let’s make sure your connection is not compromised.
You see, Crunchyroll won’t work correctly if you have a bad Internet connection. But don’t worry! You can easily check if that’s the problem by entering speedtest.net or fast.com.
If the results show that your connection is running slow, try restarting your modem and router. Believe it or not, this process can easily get rid of different network issues.
Follow this quick guide to do it:
Please make sure that your router is placed at the center of your home and away from large metal objects, thick walls, fish tanks, and other electronics, such as microwaves and baby monitors.
Once you’ve completed the steps above, try disconnecting some devices from the Internet. You see, if there are numerous devices connected to the same Wi-Fi network, you may experience connection issues.
Then, check your Internet plan. If you live with more people, your plan will need to be able to meet the demand of all your devices.
You can easily know what Internet plan is best for your needs by multiplying the number of people living in your home by 25 Mbps. This way, if you have a family of four, you’ll need an Internet plan of at least 100 Mbps.
