How to wait for page to load completely

I tried following
return ((JavascriptExecutor) driver).executeScript(
"return document.readyState").equals("complete");

but it is not working

Basically the above command is not recognizing below operations

I gave hard sleep of 30 seconds to finish these operations
Is there a way to wait for these operations to be completed?

In Automation script, There needs to wait on multiple instance. There can not be use Thread.Sleep(); every time. Page need to wait for JQuery, JavaScript, Angular loading. And which can not be handle by only document.readyState We have to wait for all substances if application is built on. So, We can create single method to wait for Page load and that method can call multiple times.

document.readyState

You can include those method, on which your application is build.

If in case Blog link might loss, there is sample Github project is available for same. Click Here

Wait wait = new FluentWait(driver)
.withTimeout(30000, TimeUnit.SECONDS) .pollingEvery(5, TimeUnit.SECONDS) .ignoring(NoSuchElementException.class);
