Hello,
iMacros waits for the tag to appear or timeout. If you know the page does not take long to load, and in case the tag takes long to appear it is just not there, then you can decrease the tag timeout.

Thanks for the reply.

2. After the page is loaded, iMacros checks for the element on the page. If the element is not found, it waits one second and then re-checks the page!. It does this until the TAG timeout value is reached. It is always 1/10 of the regular timeout (default is 6s). So if you increase the regular timeout to 360s, the TAG timeout will be 36s.
Q1.
is there a way to disable this "1 second wait and the re-check" for tags (if tag not found) ?, with the previous versions of imacro, the scripts used to be a lot faster !
Q2.
When was this second check added ?
I tried using version 6.0.6.9, works perfectly ! without the tagwait,
Unfortunately my new scripts written for the latest version are not backward compatible with version 6.0.6.9
Thanks in advance.

Sorry to bump !
Is there a solution to this issue ?

I've written a C# program with multithreading , still the overall execution is a lot slower because of this issue.
Please help

Any ideas on how to disable the "re-check"?

Re: TAG POS Very slow to know tag not exists
I'm running in to the same issue. My version 6.9 was MUCH faster running my iMacros and now, it is acting like it needs to "report" for each Tag item it can't find.
Has there been a resolution to this? The TimeOut line didn't work - it still reports each unfound Tag line in each line. I would've expected this to be MUCH faster in v7. But now, I'm not a major fan of v7 because of this although I SO want the unlimited Column capability but I will not sacrifice speed, of which I was so familiar with in 6.9 because of each Tagline. Imagine a Macro that has over 1000 lines in it!!! We are looking at least 16 minutes of processing time when it took only a minute (if that) running the 6.9.
Please advise. I've done the Timeout at 1 which still puts the 1 second rule on each line. I agree, isn't there a way to remove the Timeout completely?? It's the one second per line I can not endure.

Re: TAG POS Very slow to know tag not exists
In our tests iMacros 7 it is not slow, but I do not want to rule out a bug either.
Can you please post the macro that creates the problem? This would allow us to quickly re-create the issue on our test systems.
