Network Suspended

Periodically, you may experience issues after your computer has gone into sleep mode or hibernation.

This scenario is unusual in that it may affect one or more tabs in a browser but other tabs and/or other browsers and/or other internet applications will continue to function normally. The error does not affect everyone and is usually associated with a device entering sleep mode or hibernation. It may work sometimes after entering sleep mode or hibernation but not other times. If you view the browser Console (a programmer utility built into your browser), you will often see the message ERR_NETWORK_IO_SUSPENDED. Google has instances of this error dating back to at least 2011 and spanning a wide range of web sites and devices. You can read about it in Google forums both here https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=82407 and here https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=66728.
