Lag (from "lag behind") is a slang term for slow Internet connection speeds or low latency.

A slow or intermittent connection may often be referred to as "laggy".

Symptoms of lag may sometimes be demonstrated by a server problem, however, lag is more frequently an issue with the connection between client and server.
