With this concern before, we always go to ethgasstation but that website was closed for about a year already.
Interesting for me why people do need to check on the fees and how much they are currently, if they don't interact that much with the blockchain, that is - it's a metric to use or maybe to be sure of something?
It's because the fees are dynamic and it changes from time to time. So, for you not to get stuck with your transaction, you have to check the gas fees so that your TX won't be slowed down or delayed.
So, in that case, you add up the amount put for the fee and you basically fasten it up, correct?
That's right, you can pay as exact as what the etherscan suggests for the high priority and that's what it really means, to speed up the confirmation. But if the network isn't clog, whatever is suggested for low to average is already enough. But adding some cents to speed up your transaction isn't that much for you to get that confirmation quickly.
I saw something like that on Metamask, but never experienced a situation like that.
You can adjust or modify that fee and you should try and see it for yourself how it goes.
