I recommend this article: Especially section Race Condition: The page.waitForNavigation() must be run before page.reload() or page.goto() and concurrently.

// ❌ Problematic approach
await page.click('.link');
await page.waitForNavigation(); // May miss navigation

// ✅ Correct approach
await Promise.all([
    page.waitForNavigation(),
    page.click('.link')
]);
