Hi @elpis99,

here is a nice resource for chess tactics and mating patterns by Ward Farnsworth
who is the author of two books about this topic.
He made the content of these books publicly available, it's completely free. There are two parts:

Part 1: Theoretical Section
https://www.chesstactics.org/
Each chapter covers one tactical motif. He also shows different variations
of the same motif in each chapter. (Double Attack, Discovered Attack, Pin/Skewer, Removing the Guard, Mating Patterns)

Part 2: Practical Section
http://www.chessproblems.org/
In Part 2 you can practice what you've learnt in part 1. The chapters are organized
in the same way as in Part 1 (Double attack, Discovered attack ...).
In each chapter you will find exercises to solve.
If you don't want to only practice one single tactical motif you can click
on "Random Position" and you'll get a random one from the above mentioned chapters.

If someone needs an intro to tactical motifs and mating matterns, then this website is
a good way to start. What I really like about this website is, that it's not just a bunch
of exercises without any structure. You get a lot of explanations and examples for
every tactical motif and at the same time you have enough exercises to apply what you've learnt.

So you get theory on chess tactics AND exercises for free. That's not what you encounter a lot online nowadays.

There are (currently) no websites that are solely devoted to learning chess (as far as I know) for free. If you intend to spend some money here are some options you should check out:

  1. Chessable (good for openings and Endgames), some of the courses are free so you should check that out.
  2. Chess24 - Videos are great but the interface is not as good as Lichess.
  3. ChessMood is also great.
