  • To wait for the full loading of the site

  • Creating Human Behavior on the Site Using Random Pauses

  • Set the time interval between actions

How to work with an action?

The value is set in seconds.
If using variables, then the value must be numeric.

Exact

The project will pause execution for the specified number of seconds. The value can be specified by yourself or by specifying a variable with a numeric value.

Interval

A pause in a given digital interval is indicated, you can use variables.

  • From - minimum time in seconds.

  • To - maximum pause in seconds, NOT INCLUSIVE.

The project will go on hold for a time selected at random from the range from 20 to 59 seconds.


Usage example

Let's imagine that we need to do several similar actions on the site. To prevent them from looking robotic due to their lightning-fast execution, we recommend that you make random pauses between actions.

It looks like this:

  1. Loading the resource

  2. We carry out the necessary actions

  3. We set a pause in the interval

  4. We perform actions

Thus, keeping pauses between actions, the site regards us as a “live” user, not a bot.
