## Page.waitForTimeout() method

Causes your script to wait for the given number of milliseconds.

<b>Signature:</b>

```typescript
waitForTimeout(milliseconds: number): Promise<void>;
```

## Parameters

|  Parameter | Type | Description |
|  --- | --- | --- |
|  milliseconds | number | the number of milliseconds to wait. |

<b>Returns:</b>

Promise&lt;void&gt;

## Remarks

It's generally recommended to not wait for a number of seconds, but instead use [Page.waitForSelector()](./puppeteer.page.waitforselector.md), [Page.waitForXPath()](./puppeteer.page.waitforxpath.md) or [Page.waitForFunction()](./puppeteer.page.waitforfunction.md) to wait for exactly the conditions you want.

## Example

Wait for 1 second:

```
await page.waitForTimeout(1000);

```
