  3. Confirm the script matches what’s in your settings

Check for blockers

Open your browser’s developer tools (F12) and check: Elements tab: Look for the Typewise iframe Console tab: Look for errors mentioning:
  • Content-Security-Policy → Add Typewise domains to your CSP
  • blocked or refused → Check firewall or proxy settings
  • 404 or failed to load → Script URL may be wrong
Common blockers:
  • Ad blockers (test in incognito mode)
  • Corporate firewalls
  • Strict CSP headers

Test it

  1. Open your website in a private/incognito window
  2. Click the chat icon
  3. Send a test message
  4. Check your Typewise inbox
The alert clears when the next visitor sends a message.
Typewise learns your traffic patterns. Low-traffic sites have longer detection windows. Weekend silence on a B2B site is normal—the alert clears when Monday traffic resumes.
