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!

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

When you invest time and effort into creating a well-running end-to-end test suite or adopt Playwright synthetic monitoring with Checkly, you should focus on two things. Your tests must be stable because few things are worse than an unreliable test suite. But also, your tests must be fast because no one wants to wait hours to receive the green light when you're on the edge of your seat to deploy this critical production hotfix.
