Puppeteer Hangs In Headless Mode

My Puppeteer script is running in headless mode and it's timing out.

I'm not sure exactly what's going wrong. The script runs fine locally, but when I'm running in headless mode it always times out.

I've read online that could be due to the script failing to load an external javascript source? Has anyone else run into this problem, and able to help out?

Here's my setup function for my Puppeteer instance:

 setUpPuppeteer: async () => {
    const headless = process.env.NODE_ENV === "production";
    const browser = await pupeteer.launch({
      headless,
      devtools: true,
      args: ['--no-sandbox' ]
    });
    const context = await browser.createIncognitoBrowserContext();
    const page = await context.newPage(); // Create new instance of puppet

    page.on('error', err => {
      logger.error('Puppeteer error.', err);
    });

    page.setDefaultNavigationTimeout(10000);

    if (process.env.NODE_ENV === 'production') {
      await page.setRequestInterception(true); // Optimize (no stylesheets, images)...
      page.on('request', request => {
        if (['image', 'stylesheet'].includes(request.resourceType())) {
          request.abort();
        } else {
          request.continue();
        }
      });
    }

    return {browser: context, page};
  },
