Hey there!
For your MERN stack is your DB being run on Railway or are you using another service?
On that, is your DB connection over the private or public URL? That usually a pain point which might add some overhead.

Any other info you're able to provide on your service would be awesome! Would be happy to help

its running on a different service. should i connect mongo db instead of using the url in the code?

Well when I say a different service I mean, is your Mongo DB hosted on mongo's servers.
If it's hosted on https://www.mongodb.com/ I'd highly suggest hosting it on your Railway project.

ahh ok is there any documentation on connecting an already running mongodb database to my current project?

In your service it should ask for a "connection URL".
Once your mongo DB is deployed on Railway head over to the Variables tab and use the MONGO_URL field.

ok I did that and attempted to use other devices and the site wont load. i have no problem using the site on my production machine but on others it stuck loading to site

If you're able to provide the URL for the project that'd be great. Happy to take a peek and see if its loading on my end.

Are you using a custom domain or a railway generated one? On that, have you since redeployed the services to take effect?

https://www.corptort.com/ i am using a custom domain

https://www.corptort.com/ i am using a custom domain

It's loading perfectly fine on my end! Are you using cloudflare for DNS management?
I'd suggest clearing your cache there

i am actually not i am using namecheap

I personally highly suggest Cloudflare! You get a much better level of control using it.
On that though, if you wait 5-10 minutes it'll probably refresh cache and work fine.

On the other devices I suggest just waiting or clearing cache and reloading.

its working now lol. thanks for your help it was really apricated!

and I was planning on scaling to them eventually once this app grows and makes some profit

If you have time, I'd honestly suggest switching over to Cloudflare whenever you can! It's very easy and painless. Highly recommend!

Happy I could help and good luck shipping!
