Why is there a serious sign in delay on iPad once you enter your Apple ID and password?
it starts the sign in process but after more than 5 minute it’s stuck on signing in and eventually says unable to connect to iMessage server.

If you can't connect or sign in to iCloud, Apple has a list of things you can try in the document If you can't connect or sign in to iCloud - Apple Support
If you are using a VPN, try turning it off and see if you can then log in.
For more assistance try the iCloud Support web site --> iCloud - Official Apple Support
If you still have problems try official Apple Support. Click here --> Choose your country or region - Official Apple Support Select your country, then a product.
