I have a webscraping, but the site I'm using in some days is slow and sometimes not. Using the fixed SLEEP, it gives an error in a few days. How to fix this?
I use SLEEP in the intervals of the tasks that I have placed, because the site is sometimes slow and does not return the result giving me an error.

It returns an error because the page does not load in time and it cannot get the data, but this time is variable
Instead of all these hardcoded sleeps you need to use WebDriverWait expected_conditions explicit waits.
With it you can set some timeout period so Selenium will poll the page periodically until the expected condition is fulfilled.
For example if you need to click a button you will wait for that element clickability. Once this condition is found Selenium will return you that element and you will be able to click it.
This will reduce all the redundant delays on the one hand and will keep waiting until the condition is matched on the other hand (until it is inside the defined timeout).
So, your code can be modified as following:
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
#-----
wait = WebDriverWait(navegador, 30)
navegador.get(link)
wait.until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.ID, "ctl00_ctl00_Content_Content_txtLogin"))).send_keys('****************************')
wait.until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.ID, "ctl00_ctl00_Content_Content_txtSenha"))).send_keys('****************************')
wait.until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.ID, "ctl00_ctl00_Content_Content_btnEnviar"))).click()
wait.until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.ID, "ctl00_ctl00_Content_Content_TreeView2t8"))).click()
wait.until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "a[title='06 de dezembro']"))).click()
etc.
I am trying to scrape each product page from aliexpress website in order to get number of comments, number of photos published by the custumer and also the custumer country and put it to a dataframe.
I have written a code that scrape custumer country but I don't know how to get the number of custumer comments and the number of images.
This is my code :

I would appreciate any help from you! Thank you !
If you want numbers of comments / reviews, you can just check the value in this section :
driver.find_element(By.XPATH, 'XPATH_OF_ELEMENT_TO_SCRAP')
To do so in your exemple lets do this outside your loop :
number_feedbacks = driver.find_element(By.XPATH, '//*[#id="transction-feedback"]/div[1]')
number_images = driver.find_element(By.XPATH, '//*[#id="transction-feedback"]//label[1]/em')
If you dont understand or know this function, please feal free to ask and I will explain where I found theses XPATH.We also can use find by id function.
In your code it would be :

I got a dataframe that contains links to google reviews of two restaurants. I wanted to load all reviews of two restaurants (one by one) into the browser and then save them into a new data frame. I wrote a script that reads and load all reviews into the browser as follow:

The problem is that script throws an error when it reaches the following line.
driver.execute_script('arguments[0].scrollIntoView(true);', all_reviews[-1])
It throws following error:
StaleElementReferenceException: Message: stale element reference: element is not attached to the page document
(Session info: chrome=95.0.4638.69)
When I tried the same program without storing google links in dataframe (i.e. no for loop and instead of base_url = i['Link'], I wrote base_url = google review link) it works fine.
I am not sure where I am making the mistake. Any suggestion or help to fix the issue would be highly appreciated?
EDIT
you put the creation of driver outside the for loop
you cant launch the new url with gps data when the first popup is always in front, if you launch it, it stays in backdoor, the easier way is to launch a new url without gps data -> https:ww.google.com and wait 3 dec before to follow your loop:
your count is not good, i have changed your selector and change the total and set some lines in comment

it seems the solution for chrome needs some fixes:
org.openqa.selenium.StaleElementReferenceException: stale element reference: element is not attached to the page document
The literal meaning is about , The referenced element is out of date , No longer attached to the current page . Usually , This is because the page has been refreshed or skipped , The solution is , Reuse findElement or findElements Method to locate the element .
so its seems for chrome there is a problem of refreshing, so i suggest to load the number of record before to scroll, to have a fresh copy of DOM items, and i have to add a wait 1sec at the end of while loop

However, the above code produces/print 'none'. I am not sure where I made the mistake. Any help to fix the issue would be appreciated.
You are using a wrong XPath locator.
Instead of
rating = person.find_element_by_xpath("./span").get_attribute('aria-label')
Try using
rating = person.find_element_by_xpath("./g-review-stars/span").get_attribute('aria-label')
I'm trying to scrape [this][1] site its URL doesnt change when next page is clicked on. So, I used Selenium to click on the next page, but doing that doesnt help. As my driver keeps getting the old page even after next page is clicked on. Is there any other way to get to the next page and scrape it?

You need to make sure when you reach the next page, the content of the earlier page has become stale otherwise, you will have stale element error or get the same thing repeatedly. Try the below approach, it should get you there. The rest you can modify yourself.
