Chess.com has suddenly become really laggy

It's only happened today and yesterday, Otherwise it's been great. But recently I've been getting a really low fps when playing chess. It isn't an internet issue, and it's likely not a hardware issue. Could someone send me a way to fix this or at least a reason for why this is happening?

Saying it isn't an internet issue, may not be accurate. Issues can occur between you and the site, but not impact your local connection or access to other sites hosted in different locations.

I have been having the same issue. My fan comes on as heat builds up and the moves are painfully slow.

This just became an issue in the last week or so. When I try to open chess.com, I have to wait 1-2 minutes before anything happens. Other websites like Google, eBay, or YouTube open right away, so it's not my computer or connection.

Ok I just find out how to stop that bug, I changed the skins of my pieces and of the board and i removed the animations

I played a game and it wad to normal and after I put enverything as I use to have and my game was not lagging anymore.

My issues stopped once I started opening the program in Chrome. Everything works fine now. I tried again on Edge and had the same problems, so it's going to be Chess on Chrome from now on. I hope this helps!

I've always used chess.com on chrome. It was still laggy that day

The problem seems to be solved now tho.
