Selenium unable to stop page loading

Question

I do not face this problem with other websites but on this specific website:

1- I want to get my internet speed while using speedtest website by Selenium but the page cant stop loading. Because of that, I think that reason that I can't get the website elements.

2- Moreover, any line after self.driver.get can't be excited only if I stop the code.

Code trials:

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By

class InternetSpeedTwitterBot:
    def __init__(self):
        self.driver = webdriver.Chrome()

    def get_internet_speed(self):
        self.driver.get("https://www.speedtest.net/")
        print("go")
        self.driver.find_element(By.CLASS_NAME, "start-text").click()  # click on go 

browser = InternetSpeedTwitterBot()
browser.get_internet_speed()

I tried this method that I find it on more than one website but it did not help me.

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.desired_capabilities import DesiredCapabilities
from selenium.webdriver.support.wait import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By

class InternetSpeedTwitterBot:
    def __init__(self):
        capa = DesiredCapabilities.CHROME
        capa["pageLoadStrategy"] = "none"
        self.driver = webdriver.Chrome(desired_capabilities=capa)
        self.wait = WebDriverWait(self.driver, 20)

    def get_internet_speed(self):
        self.driver.get("https://www.speedtest.net/")
        self.wait.until(EC.presence_of_element_located((By.CLASS_NAME, "start-text")))
        self.driver.execute_script("window.stop();")
        print("go")
        self.driver.find_element(By.CLASS_NAME, "start-text").click()  # click on go

browser = InternetSpeedTwitterBot()
browser.get_internet_speed()

I don't understand anything but I just try it and it shows me an error:

    self.driver = webdriver.Chrome(desired_capabilities=capa)
                  ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
TypeError: WebDriver.__init__() got an unexpected keyword argument 'desired_capabilities'

Answer 1

page_load_strategy

page_load_strategy is now an attribute. So you need to configure page_load_strategy as follows:

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options

options = Options()
options.page_load_strategy = 'none'

Solution

With those minor few tweaks your working code will be:

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC

class InternetSpeedTwitterBot:
    def __init__(self):
        options = Options()
        options.add_argument("start-maximized")
        options.page_load_strategy = 'none'
        self.driver = webdriver.Chrome(options=options)
        self.wait = WebDriverWait(self.driver, 20)

    def get_internet_speed(self):
        self.driver.get("https://www.speedtest.net/")
        self.wait.until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "button#onetrust-accept-btn-handler"))).click()
        self.driver.execute_script("window.stop();")
        self.driver.find_element(By.CSS_SELECTOR, "span.start-text").click()

browser = InternetSpeedTwitterBot()
browser.get_internet_speed()
