How to handle a website with ChromeDriver if takes ages to load?

Im trying to create a script which tests https://www.mail.com/int/ but the website seems to take ages to load (The load bard 'circle' never seems to stop), I have added page load timeouts, but it seems to be taking longer than expected to load, any ideas?

Use an explicit wait until the element(s) that you want to test load.

You didn't specify a language, so I assumed C#.

using (IWebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver())
{
    driver.Url = "https://www.mail.com/int/";
    WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, TimeSpan.FromSeconds(10));
    IWebElement myDynamicElement = wait.Until<IWebElement>(d => d.FindElement(By.Id("someDynamicElement")));
}

Yes, indeed it is slow. When inspecting in the Developer Tools > Network, it takes ~30 secs to load due to GIFs and other data heavy requests. enter image description here

You should use WebDriverWait to handle such cases:

WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 30);
boolean pageLoaded = wait.until(ExpectedConditions.jsReturnsValue("return document.readyState")).equals("complete");
System.out.println("Page has loaded? " + pageLoaded);

The above seemed to work for me. Try it and let me know.
