I Don't want to wait for whole page to be loaded while automating browser using selenium and Excel VBA

Iam Trying to automate Google Chrome using Excel VBA and Selenium

But the website Iam using for accessing data loads a lot of ads before fully loading! Data Website Link

The element required for triggering for next command is present even before 1 sec of full page loading. But the Code waits for the page to be loaded fully before triggering the next command.(the whole page takes almost 7-8 seconds to load).

The elements in red box are what I really need. But the Code waits for loading all the stuff like ads and any unwanted scripts

the elements in red box are what I really need. But the Code waits for loading all the stuff like ads and any unwanted scripts

How can I Change the waiting time so that it does not wait for loading the full content.

Can you not just test for the presence of the item? Only used Selenium with C#, but think something along lines of.

Do 
    set el = driver.getelementbyid("idfoo")
    'few milisecond wait here not bad idea
Loop Until not El is nothing
