Advanced Options

Custom Wait Conditions

You can customize the conditions with which the headless browser will wait to take the screenshot. At a low level, this controls the waitUntil property in Puppeteer’s goto call. The options are:

  • DOMContentLoaded wait:0
  • Load event wait:1 (default)
  • Load event; there have been no network connections for 500ms: wait:2
  • Load event; there are fewer than two network connections for 500ms: wait:3
/:url/_wait:0/
/:url/_wait:1/
/:url/_wait:2/
/:url/_wait:3/

Custom Timeout

Number of seconds to wait before the request times out. We will attempt to simulate the stop button and return the screenshot that exists up to that point. Worst case, a default Eleventy logo is returned.

  • Minimum: 3
  • Maximum: 9
/:url/_timeout:3/
/:url/_timeout:9/

Combine these options

You can use any of these advanced options together, like /:url/_wait:0_timeout:2/. Order only matters to the uniqueness of the URL caching on the CDN.
