Live chess problems and lag

          Hi, I have started to notice a problem with live chess. It has been very laggy lately for me and normally my internet is great. I also am using a very fast computer and all the other places on chess.com are not lagging. I dont know if live chess is going through and update or something else but is anybody else having these problems? That would be nice if you could figure out the problem. Also It is not showing any tournaments. I would like to play in the but they are not showing. Why is this happening? 

The problem is simply that there's too much people online at the same time.
It's the same thing as with any multiplayer games.
Nothing you can do, really. Just make sure you don't have any other applications running and the usual stuff. 

I know that the mobile app, iOS, Android, and WP8 seem to take for ever to get paired up. The desktop web version works much faster.

yes very laggy. tried to fix in many different ways - change browsers, change application priority, turn everything else off, etc. its a problem.

I had to bail on the site yesterday. It has never been this bad. Still useless this morning. Only experiencing problems on Chess.com

cant agree more,  this is ridiculous

It's been SUPER bad for the past month or so, you guys MUST have changed some code on the backend. I have tried on multiple different computers and browsers, really a bad experience and makes 5min or less blitz nearly unplayable. 

Watching my time tick away struggling to make one move per 5-10 seconds because the client is unresponsive is extremely frustrating and I can no longer continue playing like this.

here too, and only recently.
