Servers overloaded?

Recently I had problems (even lost games on time) because the site just freezes and eventhough I made a move and I see it played on the board it is my time which continues to go down and my opponents probably does not recieve it.

One of the games I lost cause of this problem. I saw on board my move h5 but my time went down anyway.. It was a premove btw..

My internet connection is not an issue - very stable 200Mbit/s on cable not wifi. Also my laptop is high-end and I use updated Chrome.
This problem is also visible when I enter lobby and want to start new game - I do not see how many players are online and my challenge is not displayed but when I reload the page I always have already game in progress..
The site also sometimes tells me it is reconnecting on top. When tested, all other sites work properly.

What could be the problem? Overload of servers?
Same here, lichess went down and i lost my game on time as well
Yeah. Think Lichess has gotten a bit too popular :')
Same problem here. So it couldn't do it yesterday when I was losing all day? Had to pick today, when I had a winning streak started?...
