Why is ETH taking so long?

I've been waiting for my Ethereum transaction to go through for hours now, and it's still pending. Why is ETH taking so long to process transactions? Is there something wrong with the network or is it just because of the high volume of transactions? Why is ETH taking so long?

When initiating a transaction on the Ethereum network, the nonce plays a crucial role.

The nonce is a sequential counter that ensures each transaction from a particular address is unique.

If you submit a transaction with a nonce that is higher than expected (skipping a number in the sequence), the network will not process it immediately.

Instead, the network will wait for all previous transactions with lower nonces to be confirmed.
