Terrrible Lichess Lag - It’s not me!

lichess.min.js:2 WebSocket connection to 'wss://socket3.lichess.org/socket/v5?sri=xNhh5pULFAIE' failed: WebSocket is closed before the connection is established.

admins, pls, react
Since a few days I get this "reconnecting" message during a game.
When I open a new tab and load Lichess, then that page is fine but the other page keeps the "reconnecting" message going.
Several times I have checked with mtr (My Trace Route) and each time I saw several "waiting for reply".
Right now that amount is less, but almost 85 percent packet loss is shown for one.
I guess the "reconnecting" is maybe a Lichess bug, and the packet loss is maybe not related, but still wanted to share this.

This is most likely not location, but availability of socket servers: socket3.lichess.org and such. At least some time ago socket management for separated from the web servers, so this is why the site itself works fine, but gameplay logic doesn't.
Okay, I think I just experienced it as well. Does not seem like the usual lag or an issue with my Internet.
The games are lagging here and there and my Studies are unresponsive
