Download tool truncates or is unable to scrape full html code from website.

Looking for any help possible with the download tool.

 

I am trying to download the html code from a website, but the string that is retrieved is is trunctated. When viewing the browse tool after the download tool I can see I have retrieved about 35,000 characters from what should be a 200,000 character string.

 

I have a feeling that the reason it is truncated is because the tool is not allowing the webpage enough time to fully load before copying the html code into alteryx, and therefore only copying a subset of the data. Could this be the case? And if it is the case, is there a way I can make the download tool pause on the webpage for about 10 seconds before copying the string?

 

Open to any and all solutions to my problem and thanks in advance!
