# Frame.waitForTimeout() method
Causes your script to wait for the given number of milliseconds.
**Signature:**
```typescript
class Frame {
waitForTimeout(milliseconds: number): Promise<void>;
}
```
## Parameters
| Parameter | Type | Description |
| ------------ | ------ | ----------------------------------- |
| milliseconds | number | the number of milliseconds to wait. |
**Returns:**
Promise&lt;void&gt;
## Remarks
It's generally recommended to not wait for a number of seconds, but instead use [Frame.waitForSelector()](./puppeteer.frame.waitforselector.md), [Frame.waitForXPath()](./puppeteer.frame.waitforxpath.md) or [Frame.waitForFunction()](./puppeteer.frame.waitforfunction.md) to wait for exactly the conditions you want.
## Example
Wait for 1 second:
```
await frame.waitForTimeout(1000);
```
