What's happening when it says 'Please wait, it's taking longer than usual to connect.'?

Today I was playing a Crazyhouse game where I was in a winning position, but then I suddenly disconnected. When I reloaded the page, it said "Please wait, it's taking longer than usual to connect." I usually have excellent connection, so can someone explain to me what's going on with the chess.com servers?

Its taking longer than normal to connect.

I know, but is it a server-side problem or a client-side problem?

Avatar of KetoOn1963

No clue...

I have bottom of the barrel internet and i dont have any issues.

been having the problem for a few weeks, just started out of nowhere, i use chrome and tried it on edge and it worked perfectly, must be a bug in chrome

May I ask if anyone has found a solution to this problem?  My family is experiencing the same problem on two chromebooks.  We receive "Please wait, it's taking longer than usual to connect" when we try to access 14-day games or list of current/upcoming tournaments.

just go to setting of your browser and find clear data...then just clear all reminding cache. and it will be fixed 100%.

It really depends.

I think the error shows up both with server-side issues and client-side as well.

I suggest crying.

It doesn't help the situation, but it makes me feel better when I lose because of connection problems
