Reducing network latency can speed up your script. Use caching mechanisms or optimize your code to make fewer requests. You can block unnecessary requests, like Google Analytics, by intercepting them:
import { test } from '@playwright/test';
test('Block Google Analytics', async ({ page }) => {
await page.route('https://www.google-analytics.com/**', (route) => route.abort());
await page.goto('https://ray.run/');
});
Running your script in headless mode can significantly reduce resource usage and speed up execution time:
import { test, expect } from '@playwright/test';
test.use({ headless: true });
test('Example test', async ({ page }) => {
await page.goto('https://ray.run/');
// Your test code here
});
Review and optimize any inefficient loops or functions. Use asynchronous programming techniques like promises or async/await syntax for non-blocking execution and faster processing times.
Ensure you're using the latest version of Playwright and keep up-to-date with new releases or updates. These often include bug fixes and performance improvements.
Maximize test efficiency by running tests in parallel. Playwright supports parallelism out-of-the-box, and you can control the number of workers using the --workers
flag:
npx playwright test --workers=4
By following these tips, you can optimize your Playwright script for faster performance and reduced loading times.
