Why "page.goto()" is slowing down your Playwright tests

The text discusses the importance of stability and speed in end-to-end tests for websites, focusing on Playwright synthetic monitoring with Checkly. It highlights that the `page.goto()` action can cause delays due to waiting for all resources to be loaded, which is not necessary for testing UI actions and state changes. The author suggests using `waitUntil: "commit"` or `domcontentloaded` instead of `load` to reduce test execution times without compromising on test coverage. However, it also emphasizes the importance of monitoring network dependencies when adopting end-to-end testing with Playwright, as it can provide valuable insights into site performance and infrastructure issues. The text concludes that there is no one-size-fits-all solution, and the best approach depends on individual project requirements and priorities.
