## TL;DR

Set it to False so it only waits for the load event. Set wait_for_network_idle=False so it only waits for the page load event.

## Steps

1. paginate hangs on pages that never go fully idle because wait_for_network_idle defaults to True. Set it to False so it only waits for the load event. And switch mode to standard when fast mode keeps missing the pagination element.
