Why is chess.com so laggy?

Why?

I’ve been experiencing lags when play beta started. For example, in a 1 minute bullet game, I always lose. My opponent has about 30 seconds, and i have 0. It’s not like i’m moving slow. Why is this happening?

You can use regular live chess instead of play beta. try that.

Are you using another login?

It looks like your shortest recent bullet loss was 31 moves.

no, my iPad which I always use lags, and I don't really use the computer too much.

I don't know how to do that.

And it'll probably lag there too.

Try using your computer. It might be the device's lag or something like that.

Yess, but only with Dad’s permission.

100ms delay.. lol if u noticed that it takes one tenth of a second to premove

Yes, but when i premove, it takes 1 second or more

anyone suggest a platform to try which might not lag. I've watched opponent's time actually go up after there move, and just played pre-moves and still spent more time than the opponent. love bullet but would prefer to have 60 instead of 45 seconds.

Is there serious lag in other internet games?

I doubt it.

As internet games go it seems chess should not be that complex.

Chess.com has a serious lag issue...

I think the managers like it  or they are willing to spend money to fix it.

Try playing on LiChess.org. Does it lag there as well? Or is it only on chess.com?

Lichess has not been lagging for me. Chess.com has, unfortunately, become almost unplayable.

The lag is getting to the point of being pathetic.  I play on my, phone(lag at times with both wifi and cellular data), Ipad(lag), High end PC(lag in browser with good internet connection).  It's so frustrating.  I play online games that are probably a million times more complex with no lag issues.

Ur Internet Might be slow

chess.com is never slow its ur internet

do you guys play bullet?  That's where I notice it most.  I have switched to Lichess for bullet with no problems.  Lichess actually optimizes bullet games too.  It's lightning fast.  Chess.com feels clunky after playing on Lichess.

I have a very laggy experience on chess.com. When I grab a piece, the piece lags. Its like its taking a lot of processing power just to show the almost still image on the screen. I don't have this problem on lichess.
