Internet and how it works.

He say the problem happens only with this site, and also I have experienced first hand a very similar problem.
IMHO more likely an issue (server congestion or other bottleneck) that present itself deceptively as a generic slow network connection.
When the issue happened to me during a game I made few test.
My connection was fine, other server geographically near this one was fine, but in game indicator display poor connection and I experienced lag.
Again to me this is an issue related to this site/server farm and not internet in general or player connection, probably indicator say so because have no means to discriminate what happening.

@Archimboldi @Ender88
(if I had a penny every time this was asked i would have enough pennies to buy lichess)
The internet is like roads just because a to b is fine does not mean a to c is fine there might be potholes or roadblocks which lichess does not control.
To find where the potholes are download winmtr and put in "lichess.org"
then past it here
CENSOR THE FIRST 3 IPS (unless you want to dox yourself)
censor by replacing the ip with just the number 1 for the first etc
Now the first ip with a big difference between worst and average or with a loss rate thats not 0 or 100 is the problem ip
also note all ips from there are affected by the previous steps on the route.

Server issues will affect either a significant portion of users or all of them, like under the DDoS attack. We are talking about tens of thousands, not a couple.
Your YT videos might play just fine, because the server is somewhere else, this wouldn't change a thing for you and your issues connecting to Lichess.
Lichess has no control over what happens between you and the servers in France. None whatsoever, doesn't manage the traffic on the Internet.

I don't know how Archimboldi is connected. But at the moment the green dot is green in the forum but not in the profile.
Hover you mouse over the OP's name and see for your self. Why would the profile be gray dot when the forum page is green dot.
Normally it's the other way around. Our profile is green and gray in the forum post if that forum post is not the page we are on.
Am I miss understanding something?

Follow the money! Chess.com has a clear motive.

I don't think jokes about chess.com are going to help OP.
for_cryingout_loud's MTR suggestion is good, it's the tool that would help you diagnose network issues.

I'd like to add another point. Streaming videos is in some way less challenging than running a chess site, despite the far bigger amount of data transferred for videos.
Streaming is done with intentional lag. The bytes currently playing on your player have been sent many seconds in advance and are buffered locally until really needed. If you have additional lag in transfer, or even lose connection to the server for a few seconds, you will realize it only, if the local buffer runs empty.
This buffering is impossible for a chess site. A quick reaction to your opponent's move is essential, nothing can be sent in advance. So this frequent argument "I can watch HD videos on youtube, therefore my internet must be great" is completely pointless.

can simply ping rise, which country do You live? is it far from France?
I have actually disconnections too before, it was due some bug , or something with provider itself
