Puzzle rating comparision

Lichess at 2400+ puzzles are quite hard to me. :( Most of them are pure calculations with average 5 moves ahead , and some of them have 5 moves extensions to see why move (a) is better than move (b). (So you have to see 10+ ahead to solve )

In comparision with other sites, my puzzle rating is stalled
1. 2400 in chess.com
2. 2300 in lichess.com
3. 2000 in chesstempo.com

What about yours?

Why you have 1300 in chess.com while you have 2300+ here.
I can solve with 50% correction to 2500-2700 puzzles over there but I frequently failed 2400+ in here, too much headache to solve.
This one is the highest rated puzzle 2500+ I could solve and i saved as record.

@drmrboss I hate puzzles on chess.com, I only get lower rated puzzles and when I solve them my rating barely goes up. I don't want to spend hours doing 900 rated puzzles.

2401 Lichess
2001 chesstempo standard (peak rating : 2130)
1908 chesstempo mixed (peak rating : 1959)

On chess.com I stopped with the tactics a long time ago because I disliked the timer. I went over 2300 there, then reset the rating, and then had troubles going over 2100. I guess tactics rating can depend on all kind of things. The puzzles you get, the mood you are in, the weather etcetera.
Now I'm trying to get my "failed puzzles" rating on chesstempo higher by doing "Puzzles you always got wrong", "Puzzles you got wrong at least once". For those it is still jumping between 1800 and 1850 lately.

I've done chesstempo blitz as well but I stopped with it on a regular basis, because I started to believe it is not useful as a learning tool, only for "adrenaline fun".
Lately, in general terms, I tend to think that the mixed tactics is really the best to improve tactics for otb chess games. Because with mixed tactics you need to figure out :
*) Do I have a won position ? Then what is the winning move sequence ?
Or/and ...
*) Do I need to go for a draw here ? And how ?
That resembles a real otb chess game more than the common "White begins and wins" puzzles.
Then again, besides this observation, it makes sense to train on winning patterns as much as possible as well.
