title: Troubleshooting timeouts with selenium for a specific site
body: <p><strong><em>Trying to fix a specific web-site timing out when it's tested with selenium</em></strong></p>
  
  <p>Running tests on virtualbox and 90% of them return</p>
  
  <pre><code>"Operation timed out after 30001 milliseconds "
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>What's strange is that web-site loads very quickly when I open it in Chrome on the same virtualbox... (just not through selenium)</p>
  
  <p><strong>Troubleshooting:</strong></p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>Tried increasing the timeout limit in implicit wait </li>
  <li>Tried changing user agents (thinking may be the web-site itself is throttling down selenium tests)</li>
  <li>Tried increasing the ram on the virtualbox to maximum values </li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>Not sure if anyone experienced this. Is there anything else I can try?</p>
  
  <p>Appreciate any suggestions</p>
