There may be a variety of reasons.
I always keep ping running to check for disturbances in internet connection.

If the connection is ok, then the refresh should not be choked up for long, just waiting a while clears it.
Another checkpoint is to close unnecessary programs running on the computer. Sometimes some program/ website may be interfering with the connection.
If nothing works, close the Nest using task manager and restart it.
