Lag Indicator

The lag indicator in the status bar shows the round-trip latency between your browser and the server, measured every 30 seconds.

Color Thresholds

Normal (green): Under 200ms — connection is good.
Warning (yellow): 200–499ms — noticeable delay.
Critical (red): 500ms or more — significant lag.
Timeout (?): No response received — connection may be lost.

How It Works

The client sends a ping to the server every 30 seconds. The server echoes the timestamp back, and the client calculates the round-trip time. If no response arrives within 10 seconds, a timeout is shown.
