I used to have to refresh my screen 2 or 3 times to get the pieces to show on my board, have not had to refresh once since whatever happened happened, it is way better for me. Thanks

It seems that I can't load specific pages anymore, or I have to keep trying just to load the page.  I don't know if it my computer or what, but since the site has been changed I have been having lots of trouble loading pages.

the problems seem to be mostly in the US. I said MOSTLY!

i can tell it is faster but the negative thing i have noticed is that during the game i am not able to hear the sound of the movements as i used to do is that that part of the new improvement??

We made a pretty dramatic change to Chess.com today. We're now using a new service that is supposed to make everything faster, especially for non-US members. 

The first few pages might load more slowly (as the site figures out where you are and gets some initial files), but should be zippy after that. Let us know what you think!

I reckon there's not changes at all except for some 20 minutes to shut down the entire site or the reminder to have a membership fee everytime you open your log on. A good site I believe supposed to be free to everybody and gives the best service not to remind you to be diamond member everytime lol.

For 2 weeks it works out fine.

But since last week, every time I started up with "secure.chess.com" I got the usual start-up page. But after login in I immediately got the message : security certificate makes that I cannot through : please close website"   !? 

Who else got this experience ?

This is the best chess online free site of the web. The way that I meet www.chess.com was very intuitive and simple: just typed at iceweasel (linux) navigator "chess" and directly meet this superb site.

Now, the "akmai" solution made a great improvement in site speed performance.

Congratulations to the chess.com team !

I noticed that the pieces in the game viewer move much more smoothly now when I review a current or an old game. Same with the game explorer.

Thank you for the improvements!...but...It still seems not getting redirected to the secure server, so the URL showed after logging in remain the same "http" without "s" at the end...
