I'm looking to get the class attribute of every WebElement on the page quickly with selenium. Currently, I'm doing the following:
allElements = new ArrayList(m_webDriver.findElements(By.cssSelector("*")));
for (WebElement element : allElements) {
String className = element.getAttribute("class");
}
This process is incredibly slow, taking upwards of thirty seconds on a page with 500 elements. I've tried parallelizing the getAttribute call, which is the slowest part of the method, but there was no speed increase. This leads me to believe that every call to getAttribute is fetching information instead of storing it locally.
Is there a faster or parallelizable way to do this?

The problem is, you cannot make selenium send batch getAttribute() calls for multiple elements. Here is a similar problem I've looked into - it is about making isDisplayed() work for multiple elements without making JSON Wire protocol requests for every element in a list:
But, as opposed to this isDisplayed() problem, here we can execute javascript and reliably get the class attribute values for every element on a page, something like this to get you started:
JavascriptExecutor js = (JavascriptExecutor) driver;
js.executeScript("var result = []; " +
"var all = document.getElementsByTagName('*'); " +
"for (var i=0, max=all.length; i < max; i++) { " +
" result.push({'tag': all[i].tagName, 'class': all[i].getAttribute('class')}); " +
"} " +
" return result; ");
