Engine never loads

When I'm analysing my games, the computer analysis button to analyse the whole game works fine. However, when I turn on Stockfish 8 to analyse one particular move, it never loads. I've left it for 5 minutes on and it still is loading. Is this a bug, or is it just something to do with my internet? I believe my connection isn'tso bad with a 132 ms ping and 2 ms server. I use chrome if that helps

Also when I put for example a position in the board editor and then want to study it so I click the analysis board button the engine never loads it just says loading engine...
What browser (type and version) are you using? Lichess doesn't officially support Safari, and the local analysis uses some technology that older browsers do not support. (I'm not a dev, just putting it out there that you're normally asked about these things when a problem arises).
Yes, what's your exact Chrome version? Can you please make a screenshot of the developer console (F12) when the problem occurs?
Mine's 57.0.2987.133. Try updating Chrome, see if that helps.
It doesn't seem to work with Internet Explorer 11 either, but works with Microsoft Edge. IE 11 is too "old" I suppose.
