I sometimes observe something similar, and my feeling it has to do with the DNS of my provider. I try to reach a place and it hangs. Then if I run a terminal program that gets me the ip address, there is no problem. Ditto if I reload the page.
I think - no proof - that my provider's DNS is too slow to respond, or does not respond at all, and the browser times out after a specified period, leading to this phenomena. If I try again, and I am lucky, it's fine. If there is lower load on the DNS, fine too. So this is more common Fridays (in Costa Rica), and I am not sure if the fault is with the server or the routing to/from it. Z.
