Why "page.goto()" is slowing down your tests

In this video, we dive into Playwright's "page.goto()" and understand why it could be slowing down your end-to-end tests. We start with an example script and then walk you through the Playwright UI mode to understand how resource loading can delay the "page.goto()" call.
We also look into the different "waitUntil" configurations and check how they affect the speed of your tests. Enjoy, and drop any questions or comments below!

[@claudsammy]

Great tip as always!! Love your work! How do you write tests if you MUST handle situations where the developers use bad-form lazy loading which allows users to interact when they shouldn't be able to? As you mentioned, this is a common problem. It would be good to get some tips/tricks on that!

In a nutshell and very brief: Checkly enables you to run and schedule your Playwright scripts to receive timely alerts when something's off with your prod site. :)
