Lichess.org UI freezes or lags on menu screens, how can I fix performance bugs?

If Lichess UI freezes or lags on menu screens, start by clearing your browser cache/cookies or try a different browser, since freezes often stem from browser-side script issues or corrupt cache data.

Users report that switching browsers (from Chrome/Chromium to Firefox) or using incognito mode can make the interface responsive again.

Check your internet stability too, because slow or unstable connections can delay UI responses even outside games — Lichess shows latency indicators when connected, and high lag means the site waits longer for server replies.

If issues persist, try restarting the app/device or using the browser version instead of the app.

These are key solutions that we can offer. If you have more, please share.
