| options.timeout   | number | `30000` | Maximum operation time in milliseconds. Pass `0` to disable the timeout. The default value can be changed via the [browserContext.setDefaultNavigationTimeout(timeout)](/docs/k6/latest/javascript-api/k6-browser/browsercontext/setdefaultnavigationtimeout/), [browserContext.setDefaultTimeout(timeout)](/docs/k6/latest/javascript-api/k6-browser/browsercontext/setdefaulttimeout/), [page.setDefaultNavigationTimeout(timeout)](/docs/k6/latest/javascript-api/k6-browser/page/setdefaultnavigationtimeout/) or [page.setDefaultTimeout(timeout)](/docs/k6/latest/javascript-api/k6-browser/page/setdefaulttimeout/) methods. Setting the value to `0` will disable the timeout. |
| options.waitUntil | string | `load`  | When to consider operation to have succeeded. See [Events](#events) for more details.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  |

### Events

> Caution
> 
> `networkidle` is DISCOURAGED. Don’t use this method for testing especially with chatty websites where the event may never fire, rely on web assertions to assess readiness instead.

Events can be either:

- `'domcontentloaded'` - consider operation to be finished when the `DOMContentLoaded` event is fired.
- `'load'` - consider operation to be finished when the `load` event is fired.
- `'networkidle'` - Consider operation to be finished when there are no network connections for at least `500` ms.
