Read the tech stack as text▾

Overview: A lean no-code Webflow marketing stack with polished motion visuals, wrapped in compliance, CDN, and security layers built for enterprise trust.

What stands out

  • The absence of a JavaScript framework suggests Check prioritizes fast marketing iteration over a custom-built front end.
  • OneTrust alongside Google Tag Manager indicates readiness for enterprise privacy reviews common in payroll and HR tech.
  • LottieFiles and Swiper show investment in visual storytelling for a developer and platform-buyer audience.
  • Cloudflare plus HTTP/3 and HSTS reflects a performance and security posture appropriate for financial infrastructure.

Technologies checkhq.com uses

  • Swiper — Touch-friendly carousel library powering sliders, used to showcase product features and integrations visually.
  • Google Analytics — Traffic and conversion measurement across marketing pages.
  • OneTrust — Privacy consent management platform, signaling enterprise-grade compliance for handling payroll-adjacent data.
  • Webflow — Marketing site built on Webflow, indicating lean no-code operations and fast iteration without a heavy engineering CMS.
  • HSTS — Forces HTTPS to protect visitor sessions.
  • jsDelivr — Open-source CDN delivering front-end libraries, chosen for speed and reliability of static assets.
  • Open Graph — Social sharing metadata for link previews.
  • LottieFiles — Vector animations embedded in marketing pages, showing a focus on polished product storytelling for developer audiences.
  • Cloudflare — CDN and security edge for performance and DDoS protection.
  • jQuery — Legacy JavaScript library supporting Webflow interactions.
  • Google Tag Manager — Tag orchestration for analytics and marketing scripts.
  • HTTP/3 — Modern protocol for faster, reliable page loads.

How these technologies work together

  • Google Tag Manager integrates with OneTrust — OneTrust consent signals gate Google Tag Manager tags, ensuring analytics and marketing scripts respect visitor choices.
  • Cloudflare runs on HTTP/3 — Cloudflare's edge network serves the site over HTTP/3, reducing latency for global visitors evaluating payroll APIs.
  • LottieFiles integrates with Webflow — LottieFiles animations are embedded in Webflow pages to make payroll infrastructure explainers more engaging.
  • Cloudflare runs on HSTS — Cloudflare enforces HSTS headers, forcing HTTPS and reinforcing security for a fintech-adjacent payroll platform.
  • Google Analytics requires Google Tag Manager — Google Tag Manager injects Google Analytics, centralizing measurement of visitor behavior across marketing pages.
  • Google Analytics integrates with OneTrust — OneTrust gates Google Analytics, ensuring GDPR and CCPA compliance for visitor tracking on payroll-focused pages.
  • jsDelivr requires Swiper — Swiper assets are served from jsDelivr, making the CDN the delivery backbone for the site's carousel behavior.
  • Swiper integrates with Webflow — Swiper carousels run inside Webflow marketing pages for feature and testimonial sliders, extending native interactions.
  • Open Graph integrates with Webflow — Webflow auto-generates Open Graph tags, making product and integration pages share cleanly on social and messaging.
  • jsDelivr works alongside Webflow — Webflow pages pull third-party scripts from jsDelivr, combining no-code editing with CDN-delivered front-end libraries.
  • jQuery requires Webflow — Webflow's interactions rely on jQuery, so the legacy library remains the runtime for dynamic marketing elements.

How to fix Check not working

Check is a payroll and payments platform for businesses. Employers use it to run payroll, send payments, sync with accounting tools and manage their workforce. Find your symptom below. Most problems come from a sign-in, a payroll or payment setting, a sandbox versus live setting, or the platform itself. Check that you are in the right environment before you run a payroll again. Never send bank details or national ID numbers in a support message.

Jump to what you are seeing

API Down

Calls to the Check API fail or return an error.

  1. Check the status code. An access error usually means the key is wrong, too many calls means you should slow down, and a server error means a service-side problem.
  2. Confirm the key is for the right environment, sandbox or live.
  3. Retry with a growing delay, and check status.checkhq.com if several calls fail together.

Dashboard Unreachable

The dashboard does not load for you.

  1. Open the page in a private window and on another network.
  2. Check status.checkhq.com for an active incident.
  3. If only your network is affected, ask IT to check the firewall.

Payroll Processing

A payroll run does not process, or it shows an error.

  1. Read the error on the run, which usually names the employee or the step that failed.
  2. Check the pay details and the tax set-up for that employee are complete.
  3. Check status.checkhq.com before you run the payroll again, so employees are not paid twice.

Webhook Failures

Your system does not receive updates from Check.

  1. Check the webhook address is correct and reachable from the internet.
  2. Check the webhook's secret matches on both sides.
  3. Check status.checkhq.com, and redeliver the missed events once the cause is fixed.

Sandbox Issues

The test environment does not behave as the live one does, or it will not load.

  1. Check you are signed in to the sandbox, and that the test data is in place.
  2. Reload the sandbox in a private window.
  3. Check status.checkhq.com, and report the sandbox name and the time.

Login Failed

Sign-in is refused.

  1. If the password is refused, reset it through the official route and check spam.
  2. Check your two-factor device works, and that you are using the correct account.
  3. Try a private window to rule out an old session.

Still not working?

Contact your organisation's Check administrator or your payroll lead first, since they manage employees, pay runs and access. For a platform-wide problem, contact Check support through the help option in the dashboard or on the Check website. Have your organisation name, the pay run or payment reference, the exact error text, and the time with your time zone. Never send bank details, national ID numbers or passwords in a support message. Live incident updates are on status.checkhq.com.

Most payroll-platform problems come from a pay detail, an environment setting or a sign-in, and they usually clear once that is checked. The status page shows live incidents, so you can see whether the problem is on Check's side.
