Today, I encountered that kind of "lag" again when checking on-chain data. At first, I thought my internet was acting up again... Later, as I checked and asked around, I roughly understood: many pages don't read directly from the chain but go through indexers/Subgraphs, which are like "organized copies of the ledger before showing you"; plus, RPCs also have rate limits, so when you make too many requests, you get queued or even temporarily cut off, making it look like instant teleportation, delay, or missing parts.
No wonder recently some people have been complaining that certain on-chain tools and tagging systems are "lagging or misleading," to put it plainly, what you see is processed results, not the real-time truth. My current practice is: if the data stalls, don't rush to draw conclusions, and don't rush to trade. First, switch to another data source to verify, wait a few minutes, then check again. Don't let that moment's emotion throw you off... That's how I'll do it for now.
