timeout: Timed out receiving message from renderer in Selenium and chrome

You may get exception saying - timeout: Timed out receiving message from renderer when working with Selenium web driver and chrome browser.

I fixed this exception using below statement in Java.

driver.manage().timeouts().pageLoadTimeout(60, TimeUnit.SECONDS);

I was getting the exception earlier when the page load time out was 20 seconds. I increased the page load time out to 60 seconds and it started working like a charm.

As a good practise, always make sure that page load time out is at least 60 seconds.
