server lag
Online response slowdown
Server lag is the delay between a user's action and the server's response, most commonly experienced in online gaming and web applications.
When a game server is overloaded or network connections are poor, players experience lag as stuttering movement, delayed commands, or characters teleporting across the screen.
The server lag was so bad my character died before I even saw the enemy.
Unlike client-side lag, server lag affects all connected users simultaneously and typically requires the host to fix.
