I try to connect my ESP8266 to my socket.io in node.js server, but I keep getting disconnect and connect

Here is my node server for Arduino to connect to:

var port = process.env.PORT||3000
const http = require('http')
const app = require('./app')

const cors = require('cors');
let message = ''
const server = http.createServer(app)
const io = require('socket.io')(server)


server.listen(port,()=>{
    console.log("server run on ", port)
})

io.on("connection",(socket)=>{
    console.log(socket.id)
    socket.on('message', data =>{
        // console.log(data)
        socket.broadcast.emit('message',data)
    })
    socket.on('open light',data=>{
        socket.broadcast.emit('open_light',data)
        console.log(data)
    })
    socket.on('disconnect',()=>{
        console.log("Client disconnect")
    })

    
    
})

Here is the code for ESP8266 for connect to the node server:



#include <SocketIoClient.h>
#include<ESP8266WiFi.h>
#include<Arduino.h>
#define USER_SERIAL Serial 

SocketIoClient socket;
const char* ssid = "bunvath_guest";
const char* pass = "*********";
void setup() {
  pinMode(2, OUTPUT);
  USER_SERIAL.begin(115200);
  searchWifi();
  initWiFi();
  socket.on("message", handleMessage);
  socket.on("light_on",handleMessage);
  socket.emit("message","hello from esp");
  socket.begin("192.168.0.102",3000);
  
 
  
}

void loop() {
  digitalWrite(2,LOW);
  digitalWrite(2,HIGH);
  socket.loop();

  
}
void handleMessage(const char* message, size_t length){
  USER_SERIAL.println(message);
}

  void initWiFi(){
      WiFi.mode(WIFI_STA);
      WiFi.hostname("ESP-host");
      WiFi.setPhyMode(WIFI_PHY_MODE_11G);
      WiFi.enableInsecureWEP(true);
      WiFi.begin(ssid,pass);
      while(WiFi.status() != WL_CONNECTED){
        USER_SERIAL.print(".");
        delay(1000);
      }
      USER_SERIAL.print("");
      USER_SERIAL.println("WiFi connected");
      USER_SERIAL.print("IP Address: ");
      USER_SERIAL.println(WiFi.localIP());
      WiFi.setAutoReconnect(true);
      WiFi.persistent(true);
  
  
  }
 void searchWifi(){
  int numberOfNetwork = WiFi.scanNetworks();
  USER_SERIAL.println("-----");
  for ( int i = 0; i< numberOfNetwork;i++){
    USER_SERIAL.print("Network name: ");
    USER_SERIAL.println(WiFi.SSID(i));
    USER_SERIAL.print("Signal Strength: ");
    USER_SERIAL.println(WiFi.RSSI(i));
    USER_SERIAL.println("-------------");
  }
}

Here is what my serial monitor printing out:

the first code is not a full sketch.
How should anybody analyse a code if not all lines of code are included?
best regards Stefan

Here is the index.html for posting message event to socket.io server:

<!DOCTYPE html>

    <title>Document</title>
</head>
<body>
    <h1>Communicate with server using socket io</h1>

       <input id = "text" type="text">
        <button id="click"> submit</button>
   
      <script>
            var socket = io()
            let text = document.getElementById('text')
            let button = document.getElementById('click')
            button.addEventListener("click",()=>{
                socket.emit('message',text.value),
                socket.emit('open_light',text.value),
                text.value = ''
            })
           
                
            
      </script>
</body>
</html>

Here is the app.js for that server.js was calling:


const express = require('express')
const dotenv = require('dotenv')
const fs = require('fs')
const app = express()
const mongoose = require('mongoose')

//IMPORT ROUTE
// const ph = require('../routes/ph')
const auth = require('../routes/auth')
const post = require('../routes/post')
 
// SETTING UP ENVIRONMENT VARIABLE
dotenv.config()
// CONNECT TO DATABASE
 mongoose.connect(process.env.DB_CONNECT,{ useUnifiedTopology: true },{ useNewUrlParser: true },()=>console.log("DB connected"))


//MIDDLEWARE

app.use(express.json())
// app.use('/api/user',ph)
app.use('/api/user',auth)
app.use('/api/post',post)
app.get('/',(req,res)=>{
    res.sendFile(__dirname+'/index.html')
})

module.exports = app

Yesterday, i had error like this, and i change wifi connection code like this WiFiMulti.addAP("your ssid", "your pass");
and it OK.
I thinks maybe help you.
