pageLoadTimeout in Selenium not working
The solution to your pageLoadTimeout issue would be to bump up your Selenium version to v3.5.0. Here is effective code block and the resulted org.openqa.selenium.TimeoutException: Timeout loading page after 2000ms of your own code in minimal lines:
Code block:

if you specify the time, and selenium is not able to load the site is specified time, it will throw TimedoutException. You should handle that in your code.
driver.manage().timeouts().pageLoadTimeout(4, TimeUnit.SECONDS); long startTime = System.currentTimeMillis(); try{ driver.get("https://yahoo.com"); }catch (TimeoutException te){ long estimatedTime = System.currentTimeMillis() - startTime; System.out.println("it took "+estimatedTime+" Time"); }if it's not throwing TimeoutException, either website has done loading within specified time or something is wrong with Selenium API.
WebDriver.Timeouts -> pageLoadTimeout(long time, java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit unit)Sets the amount of time to wait for a page load to complete before throwing an error.
pageLoadTimeout
WebDriver.Timeouts pageLoadTimeout(long time,java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit unit)Sets the amount of time to wait for a page load to complete before throwing an error. If the timeout is negative, page loads can be indefinite.Parameters:time - The timeout value.unit - The unit of time.Returns:A Timeouts interface.
