What happened?
When using GUI mode I have no issues, I can get any page quickly using driver.get() without any error:
Loading Page Started: https://manos.ca/
Page Loaded in 0.73 seconds. Title: Mano's Restaurant & Lounge in Saskatoon | We Saved You A Spot
Loading Page Started: https://thecanadianbrewhouse.com/locations/saskatoon/
Page Loaded in 2.05 seconds. Title: Saskatoon’s Best Sports Bar | Locations | The Canadian Brewhouse
But when I switch to --headless or --headless=new some pages seem to freeze when loading, and this ends up triggering a TimeoutException. This doesn't happen on all pages, but only on some URLs that seem to have issues with the headless mode. In my example, I show 2 of these URLs that seem to be having issues.

In some rare cases, maybe 1 out of 10 times, one of the pages is able to load but takes much longer, over 20 seconds.

How can we reproduce the issue?
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options
import time
options = Options()
options.add_argument("--headless")
driver = webdriver.Chrome(options=options)
urls = ['https://manos.ca/', 'https://thecanadianbrewhouse.com/locations/saskatoon/']
for url in urls:
start_time = time.time()
print("Loading Page Started:", url)
driver.get(url)
print(f"Page Loaded in {round(time.time() - start_time, 2)} seconds. Title:", driver.title)Relevant log output
