The only thing I had to do was open up my notifications page and click one of the links. Didn't seem to matter if the link was unread. It happens reliably at the highest posts per page setting, but I got it to trigger with only 30 posts per page after a couple of successful page loads. Something about these links makes that particular browser engine choke.
No time to dig into this further (it's three in the morning for me), but just wanted to confirm it's not just jens.
Liam, you might want to spend a bit of time perusing the server logs (mysql and apache at least) for anything suspicious. The blackouts are a bit alarming, unless they're caused by you working on the server.
I use Chrome on my phone and Firefox on desktop and don't see a thing.
Will install chromium on the desktop and see if I can reproduce that way.
In future, if you do see it happen I need exact times to help find it for you.
Edit: Here's a test for you, for the notification that stops working. Find the post, click the link icon (the one with the permalink for the comment) and see if that link does the same.

Test pattern was always the same: Open a new Google Chrome window (with no other windows open), paste the url into the address bar and press enter.
I see the hanging requests for both types of urls, permalink and the generated one from the notification center. Though not always, I fail to see a pattern yet :(. Kind of strange is that it takes quite some time until I see something in network tab of the chrome, though I see "waiting for www.gamingonlinux.com" in the status bar.
Edit:
I have waited quite some time, several minutes, for a link in the notification tab and the network tab shows repeatedly:
https://www.gamingonlinux.com/includes/ajax/update_notifications.php Status (pending)
and finally a
https://www.gamingonlinux.com/articles/heres-a-look-at-some-good-fps-games-available-on-linux-steamos.10447/page=2 504 Gateway timeout
Edit2:
Waiting for a permalink also ends with a 504 Gateway timeout.
Do you have load-balancer with a failing node or something similar?
Hope this helps.
I'm at a complete loss here.
I used the same procedure, open a new browser and paste+go a random url from the ones I mentioned and repeated this several times. Every time I got nicely redirected to the corresponding message.
May I ask what has changed?
Do keep testing if you can, let me know if/when it returns.
