- Network Switching: Switching from Wi-Fi to mobile data (or vice versa) can interrupt ongoing sessions, especially if the site doesn’t handle session persistence across IP changes.
- Browser Caching: Some browsers may not save state properly during a refresh or network change, which can result in lost progress in interactive apps.
- Carrier Optimization / NAT: Mobile networks sometimes use network address translation (NAT) or other optimizations that can affect session persistence or delay updates for real-time interactions.
Other sites with lightweight interactive features like real-time quizzes, collaborative tools, or small games can experience similar issues if they rely on continuous network sessions.
