What will help you debug Confluence?

• A. Increasing heap memory
• B. Running Confluence in Safe Mode
• C. Disabling apps
• D. Clear browser cache

Answer: (B)

Safe Mode provides a quick way to isolate issues by starting Confluence with only its essential components and turning off all third-party apps and plugins. This lets you see whether a problem persists without the added behavior of plugins. If the issue goes away in Safe Mode, you can narrow down the cause to one of the apps or plugins and then re-enable them one by one to identify the culprit. If the issue remains even in Safe Mode, the problem is likely coming from the core product, configuration, or server environment, directing you to broader debugging steps. Other options can help in certain contexts but don’t offer the same diagnostic clarity. Increasing heap memory affects performance, not the source of a bug. Clearing the browser cache targets client-side rendering and stale resources, not server-side or plugin-related debugging. Disabling apps manually can help, but Safe Mode automates this and is the standard first step for isolating issues.
