Hey hey. First a disclaimer and then an introduction.

Disclaimer: I’m not sure if this is the correct place to ask my question.  
Introduction: I’m an app sec engineer working on fine tuning and rolling out DAST scanning to new apps.  
My question: I just started running R7 against a new application. The new app takes a few seconds to load some of its content. I am familiar with slowing down a crawl or scan by configuring R7 to wait x ms between requests, but it is not clear to me if this is a wait before getting full content on current page or if it is just a wait between requests and page is processed too soon.

Any guidance would be awesome!
