do you know of a way to identify which tab lost a connection and is spinning?

There isn't a favicon on the tab, instead the spinny circle animation.

For some reason the Nagios pages at my work do this. The spinning never stops and the whole browser starts consuming more and more CPU until I kill the tab.

It probably uses some JS to continually poll the server. I think it is possible to do "push" notifications, but I'm unsure. It should at least be on a timer to check.
