Frequently Asked Questions

- Fix: Session recording playback shows white empty page on live server — set inlineStylesheet:false to prevent oversized FullSnapshot payloads (3–7 MB) that Hostinger nginx rejects
- Fix: Added oversized-payload guard in session-recorder.js — warns when non-beacon payload exceeds 1 MB
- Fix: PHP empty-events guard — rejects AJAX saves with no events when no DB row exists yet
- Enhancement: Comprehensive debug logging in JS (FullSnapshot detection, save batch type distribution, server response) and PHP (error_log for event types, FullSnapshot presence, file save confirmation)
- Fix: Removed console plugin from rrweb config to eliminate type-6 events and extra payload bulk
