I'm constantly getting "The connection has timed out" and "problem loading page."

I'm checking my notifications, visiting a thread, leaving a thread, posting at a thread etc. Some times I just have to refresh/try again one. Some times it is two, three or even four times.

Feels like it happened when we switched to https.

This is definitely a thing I've started to notice too but I see it way more at home than at work.  So I initially chalked it up to something on my end.

Pings, trace routes and MTRs go through just fine so I'm guessing it's a DNS related problem.

My first though is you are tripping the DOS protection if you have too many tabs active at once to the site or increased the concurrent connection count on your browser.  That could lock you out for a little while...  What browser(s) are giving the difficulty?
