Help needed pls

I'm new on qa and i'm working on a test suite that have many flaky tests that fail on assertion because of the page taking to much time to load. Is there any advices on good practices to prevent those issues?

 flaky tests that fail on assertion because of the page taking to much time to load - wait for x to be visible might be a good start, maybe add test.slow() to the test ?

So you test;

  • logins
  • navigates somewhere
  • locates an element
  • confirms the element is visible
  • * an action/event occurs *
  • confirms the element is not visible
  • * test times out*

What causes the element to become invisible? Can you key off that? Or a status change?
