looks very cool - a few things.

It could be improved if there was a way to include a delay for when it starts rendering.

There's also wkhtmltopdf.org as another headless/comand line pdf renderer

Actually I have lots of issue with wkhtmltopdf.org, it does not really support well for encoding text like Myanmar language(haven't test it yet). Plus 'the browser' is the best(not even one of) tool to render HTML properly, that's what I've been loving it so far.

What is the use case to delay the rendering? It's surely possible but you can do that in your own code no?
