Can you please help me why automation slow using window actions on web site. Bot is taking each action for 30 -45 seconds and for some drop downs bot is taking 1-2 minute to pickup this makes my automation very slow. Any suggestion to speed up automation.

    Can you share a screenshot of your flow? What actions are you using? Which of them are the slowest?

    Hi Agnius,

    I'm using window action on web due to special window appear where on that window web actions will not work. So I captured with Window actions.

    Which of these is the slowest? Can you share what the selector for the element related to that action looks like?

    It will usually work faster if you enable more parent elements in the selector. The shorter the selector, the longer it usually takes for PAD to find it, as it has to go through more elements.
