    Troubleshooting Common Issues

    Extension icon is gray

    The extension hasn't detected a job description. Make sure you're on the actual job posting page, not a search results page.

    Can't connect account

    Clear browser cache, restart Chrome, and try signing in again. Make sure pop-ups are allowed for ajusta.ai.

    Optimization seems slow

    Use YOLO mode for 5-second optimization. Classic mode takes 30-45 seconds but provides more detailed optimization.
