WaitUntilHistory

The different stages of the browser's loading process

enum WaitUntilHistory {
  commit
  domContentLoaded
  load
  networkIdle
  networkAlmostIdle
}

Values​

WaitUntilHistory.commit​

Fired when network response is received and the document started loading

WaitUntilHistory.domContentLoaded​

Fired when the DOMContentLoaded event is fired

WaitUntilHistory.load​

Fired when the 'load' event occurs

WaitUntilHistory.networkIdle​

Use with caution: Fired when there are no network connections for at least 500 ms. A page that holds a long-lived connection open never reaches this state, so the wait is bounded: once the page reaches networkAlmostIdle it settles for networkAlmostIdle after a second in which nothing arrives and no resource the page is still waiting on remains outstanding, and a page that never falls silent is given at most 30 seconds more, or half the timeout still unspent if that is smaller

WaitUntilHistory.networkAlmostIdle​

Use with caution: Fired when there are no more than 2 network connections for at least 500 ms
