Is XPath the fastest WebElement locator in Selenium? If not, which one is the fastest?
Hey Jacqueline,
Depending on the WebElement present in the HTML structure, it is the tester’s call to see which element in the Selenium locator is unique and quick to access, so based on that, I would like to share my thoughts.
if you talk about XPath, it is versatile but not always the fastest. IDs are precise and quick for locating elements in Selenium because they are unique in the DOM. ID locators are preferred for speed and reliability.
