If you do not have a home button on your browser, go into your browser settings, search for homepage and add this to your browser.

This makes it super convenient to access your homepage while browsing the Internet.

If you haven't done so already, create an account so that your custom sites, backgrounds, profile, and all your other settings are saved.

Also, this allows the homepage to be accessed among all of your devices and browsers.

Troubleshooting

If some or all of your websites go missing, it's very likely due to one of these reasons:

Multiple Accounts / Logins Most Common

Be sure you are signing in with the same email/login each time. If you switch browser profiles (or browsers) when accessing the homepage, make sure the actual email is the same.

If you need me to remove an account for you, send me a ticket in support. This can avoid confusion.

Google Sign-in VS Email Sign-in

You signed in with Google instead of your normal email. This can happen if/when you click the "Sign in with Google" pop-up when signing in, rather than using your typical email login.

Fix: Sign out of your account, then sign back in with your email address.

Not Signed-In

Make sure you login before adding sites to your homepage. If you don't, then the websites you add will only be temporary.

Do your sites run too vertical to your liking?

Customization

Once you are logged in, click the settings button at the top right portion of the homepage. You can then choose to show or hide any of the many features that appear by default.

You have two ways to personalize your homepage background:

Upload Your Own
  • Use any image from your device
  • Supports JPG, PNG, WebP
  • Instant upload
Create with AI New
  • Describe your ideal background
  • AI generates unique 4K images
  • First 6 creations are free

Just right-click on a website, then choose "Remove Site".

NOTE: If you cannot remove a website, then it is placed there by the webmaster as an affiliate link and may not be removed. It's all I ask for using the homepage for free.

Yes. Right-click any of your websites to pull up the website context menu, select option to rearrange sites..

You can then drag and re-position your websites. Tap the green save button.

Account Help

Although not required, you'll enjoy many additional features by creating a homepage account.

  • Saving your custom sites and settings to homepage's server
  • Allows for personal settings to be synced with other computers or browsers
  • Access to Homepage Support
  • Better homepage personalization

Creating an account is 100% free.

Create Account Now

Reset your homepage password one of two ways:

Login page

Go to login page (or click Login button at upper right part of homepage), and click Forgot Password. From there, you can just enter your email, and follow the prompts. Be sure to check your junk/spam mail.

My Account Menu

Alternatively, if you are logged in, you can update your password within your account menu.

If you share the homepage on a desktop computer with others in your family (which I do), I recommend using multiple web browsers or browser logins.

Each browser will remember your unique ID, which will in turn remember your own personal websites, settings, and background.

For Google Chrome, for example, you can choose to have a separate login for your browser (pictured here).

Check out my quick guide on prevent being logged out of homepage.

Best Homepage Ever is cross-browser and cross-device compatible.

As long as you are signed in on each browser under the same account, your settings and sites will be synced.
