When my webpage is faced error on run-timeout error while navigating or clicking element,that time to solve my error i use **Thread.sleep()**.But my Senior Architect says using **Thread.sleep()** method is wrong way try to use **Smart Loading method**.

Is there is any method to use loading the page instead of Thread.sleep() method?

Yes that’s right. Please don’t use that wait in real automation test execution due to it’s just a workaround solution and will fail your test execution any time.

You can use ‘[Wait For Page Load](https://docs.katalon.com/display/KD/%5BWebUI%5D+Wait+For+Page+Load)’ keyword in this case
