My results disappeared
Platform & Data
If your test results or progress are no longer showing, it is almost always a browser storage issue.
Why this happens
In V1, all your results are stored in your browser's localStorage — not on a server. This means:
- Clearing your browser history or cookies will erase your data
- Using a different browser or device will show an empty dashboard
- Private/Incognito mode does not save data between sessions
- Some browsers automatically clear site data after a period of inactivity
Can I recover my results?
Unfortunately, if localStorage was cleared, there is no way to recover previous results. The data was never sent to our servers.
How to protect your data going forward
- Always use the same browser and device for IELTSprep
- Do not use Incognito/Private mode
- Do not clear site data or cookies for designwithme.org
A cloud sync feature (user accounts) is planned for a future version. Until then, your data is local to your browser.
