Verify Page Loaded Field

The Verify Page Loaded field allows you to select options to specify what criteria must completely process for the monitor to consider your page fully loaded before moving on with the rest of your test, such as text string and element verification. This is an advanced setting. For most circumstances, we recommend leaving the default option of "Loaded When Ready for User Interaction" selected.

The Verify Page Loaded field provides the following 3 options:

Loaded When HTML Starts Rendering -- The page is considered loaded when the browser first starts rendering HTML content. At this stage, only the top of the page has started rendering and the user is not able to interact with the page yet.

Loaded When Ready for User Interaction -- The page is considered loaded when the browser renders enough of the page to allow a user to minimally interact with it, for example: at this stage, a user would be able to see most of the page and is able to click links and other elements of the page to proceed to a different page. This is the default option selected for the Verify Page Loaded field.

Loaded When All Page Objects Fully Load -- The page is considered loaded when all items that the browser deems as required for the page to be loaded have been completed (including the JavaScript DOM). It is possible that items could still be loaded after this point using JavaScript techniques like "Lazy Loading". At this stage, however, the Web Browser’s loading status indicator will stop and will indicate that the page is fully loaded.
