    The types of timeouts are 'page load', ['script'](/docs/en/commands/session/timeouts/async-script.md) and ['implicit'](/docs/en/commands/session/timeouts/implicit-wait.md). (The example usage is just 'page load')
   
example_usage:
  java:
    |
       driver.manage().timeouts().pageLoadTimeout(30, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
  python:
    |
      self.driver.set_page_load_timeout(5000)
  javascript_wd:
    |
    await driver.setPageLoadTimeout(5000);

  javascript_wdio:
    |
      driver.timeouts('pageLoad', 5000)
  ruby:
    |
      @driver.timeout('pageLoad', 5) # Ruby translates it to seconds
