C# Selenium: Any other way to get TEXT value of IWebElement faster?





.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ height:90px;width:728px;box-sizing:border-box;
}

I get 500+ elements by FindElements(By.Xpath).



But when I loop them to get text value, it takes 30+ seconds.



This is very slow and unacceptable.



I am using this code:



var obj = driver.FindElements(By.Xpath...); // fast enough for 500 elements
int count = obj.Count;
for (int i = 0; i < count; i++)
{
string a = obj.ElementAt(i).Text; // long time, approx 0.05 sec
Debug.print(a); // long time, approx 0.05 sec
}
// total takes 30secs appox. just for printing text values of 500 elements.


I tried with By.CssSelector, but not big difference.



And this is xpath string example I am using:



"//wpsel-app/div[@class='wpsel-app-wrapper']/wpsel-sport/div/div/div/section/div/div[@class='wpsel-eventBloc']/div/wpsel-event-main/div/wpsel-event-main-normal/a[@class='wpsel-bloc']/div[@class='wpsel-blocRight']/wpsel-market-offer-event/div[@class='buttonGroup']/div[@class='buttonLine u-ovh']/div[@class='buttonLine-item']/button[@class='outcomeButton']/span[@class='outcomeButton-data']"


Some long and I don't think this issue is from long xpath string.



Any trick for this problem?

    without print how long it take? the fastest you can get is not using selenium but Regex
