While people played my game, they randomly experienced major lag spikes that would stop the game for about 5 seconds. I do not know if it is my code that is the problem, but you can check my code for problems. Please fix this as soon as possible. I am making a game as a project for my ELA class. It is due at the end of May.

I don't notice any lag spikes. There is, however, delay at the beginning of the project right after it starts. If this is the problem you are having you will probably get better help in the Help With Scripts forum.

I don't think this is your code. This happens to me also. Not quite for 5 seconds though. When I measured, they occurred every 10 seconds for 2¼ seconds each. Here is my project that detects it:

What is imfh's? Maybe it's because of ChromeOS?

Disagreed, there's a possibility that it's Scratch causing lag at the start. What operating system and browser are you using?

No, the delay I mentioned is caused by a 5 second wait block before the red player is shown. This is possibly intentional, however.

There were a couple times I noticed added delay between the red player's shots. However, I think this was caused by the red player being on the side of the screen and the shot touching the edge right when it was cloned.

I definitely didn't see any major lag spikes as I moved around in a circle and it worked smoothly the entire time.

I really need a Chromebook…

I tested the freezing monitor game https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/290703554/ and my scratch freezes about every 6 to 7 seconds. It does it on every game I play, or when I am making a game. I am running scratch on the third-gen laptop and I had never had this problem on any websites.

On my Chromebook, scratch will have a lag spike every single time a button is pressed, but whyyyyy???

Sorry for necroposting, but I really need this to stop. I have been just putting up with this for 1 and a half years, and I am really tired of these freezes.
How do you stop this? Why is this happening?

Is the issue occurring on a specific project?

No, it is happening everywhere. Any project on Scratch will do this, and interestingly, it does it in TurboWarp as well.

Let's just give this a BUMP

The lag spikes could be due to an extension taking gpu/cpu. Most likely Chromebook users may have a monitoring extension that causes them to lag out.

I looked at my task manager, and it doesn't seem like I am running out of cpu/gpu.

Look at the Google chrome task manager instead. Each tab can only use part of the cpu, not the whole thing. If you look at the chrome task manager (right click the top bar of the Google chrome program and click task manager) it will show a percentage adjusted to show roughly how close the tab is to running out of the cpu it can use.

Bump

It gets really terrible when there's a lot of scripts

I also am on Chrome OS. I experience the same issues.

Yeah, I don't know why (Maybe because of all of the code but sometimes the game runs fine), but my levels just get more and more “lagged back”, and the syncing gets worse. Is there a problem with the actual site, or do I just absolutely suck at coding like Yandere Dev?

It's because of a chromebook extension called go-guardian. it checks every scratch block, which pauses the site for 4-6 seconds every 10 seconds. There's nothing you can do, really. it's a school installed extention to chrome, so it can't be fixed unless goguardian or scratch does something about it.
