So BGA now has endless days in a row of lagging and not loading games.

What's up with this? How do we get back to a website that works to play?

What web browser, OS, and geographical region are you experiencing this in? Is it all day, or does it sometimes happen?

I am using Firefox and Chrome, United States, desktop and mobile. My games have loaded fine throughout the day.

Mine are also generally good as well. The only time I've ever had a loading issue was on my iPad and loading Lost Ruins of Arnak. Every other game is fine.

Same here, sometimes it takes 10 seconds for the game to load with each click. It's slow throughout the day but worst in the evening. I'm in Europe and tested Chrome, Firefox, Opera, Edge with Windows 10 and mobile with Android Chrome, same lag in all browsers.

I'm also noticing quite a lag.
I'm using Edge on laptop & am in US.
No specific time of day or night & no specific games that I've noticed -- equally slow for all games I'm playing.

For me I see occasional slowdown, but I have never (yet?) seen errors that fully prevent me from reloading a table.

I'm in the US, using Safari. Restarting my computer does not help. It says "sending move to server" and a spinning circle shows for a long time with each and every move. It has been happening for some part of 4 days this past week, sometimes for hours and sometimes off and on.

If this happens only in a specific game, it is likely to be a bug specific to that game (e.g. huge game asset size, browser incompatibility, infinite loop, etc.).
If not, probably the issue is from your or internet service provider's internet connection status.

I am experiencing this as well, in multiple browsers, on PC and Android (mobile) varied ISPs, and on three different games: RR Ink, Potion Explosion, and Cubirds. Each opponent that I have asked, as we wait for submitted moves to spin and finally take, has agreed that this has been happening for about a week. It does not seem to have any rhyme or reason as to time of day, etc., and does seem to come and go randomly.
