# Navigation and waits

> Wait for the page state your next interaction actually needs.

Navigate loads a URL in the active browser session and waits for one selected condition: **DOM ready**, **Page loaded**, **Network idle**, or **Specific element visible**.

```json title="Navigate" theme={"system"}
{
  "url": "https://example.com",
  "waitCondition": "dom_ready",
  "timeoutMs": 30000
}
```

Use **Specific element visible** when the page shell loads before the content needed by the next node. This condition adds the regular structured locator editor.

## Wait For modes

Wait For handles states that occur after navigation or an interaction:

| Mode                                 | Additional setting                      |
| ------------------------------------ | --------------------------------------- |
| `time`                               | Delay in milliseconds                   |
| `element_visible` / `element_hidden` | Locator                                 |
| `text_present`                       | Text value                              |
| `url_matches`                        | URL pattern                             |
| `download_begins`                    | None                                    |
| `network_response`                   | URL pattern                             |
| `page_load_state`                    | DOM ready, page loaded, or network idle |

Each wait has its own timeout. Prefer a page signal to a fixed delay; a delay cannot distinguish a slow page from a failed one.

## Click timing

Click Element also exposes **Wait after click** from 0 to 120000 ms. Use it only for a short intentional buffer. For meaningful navigation, response, or element state, follow the click with Wait For so failure evidence names the missing condition.
