So this really looks like a network problem... and something that
I have no control over as tracker.debian.org maintainer.
This bug should thus be closed and you should get in touch with your
network administrator. Maybe people in #debian-admin on OFTC can help you
troubleshoot the network problem but I would not count too much on it.
Have you tried to figure out whether you have a forced/transparent proxy
which is dropping the answer to some requests? (Though this would seem
strange given we use https everywhere, except if they masquerade HTTPS
with a certificate of their own)
In particular, can you pin-point some specific GET request that is
not working... you mentionned this:

Do the following commands work faster ?
curl https://tracker.debian.org/static/css/dense.css
or
wget https://tracker.debian.org/static/css/dense.css

Probably, but you're most likely not speaking to the right person.
