I'm trying to understand how can I make one Webview from a URL to know when it starts loading and when it finishes. With the following code

class WebsiteViewController: UIViewController, UIWebViewDelegate {
   override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()
       loadWebPage()
  }
func loadWebPage(){
        let theURL = "https://www.example.com/"
        let theRequestURL = NSURL (string: theURL)
        let theRequest = NSURLRequest (URL: theRequestURL!)
        webView.delegate = self
        webView.loadRequest(theRequest)
    }
    func webViewDidStartLoad(webView : UIWebView) {
        //UIApplication.sharedApplication().networkActivityIndicatorVisible = true
        print("Started")
    }

    func webViewDidFinishLoad(webView : UIWebView) {
        //UIApplication.sharedApplication().networkActivityIndicatorVisible = false
        print("Finished")
    }

}

I've got these printed results

Started
Started
Finished
Finished
Started
Finished
Started
Finished
Finished

Any idea why??

does the url contain any redirects? You can try to print out webView.request?.URL in the delegate functions and see what you get – mlidal Sep 06 '16 at 11:19
@NDoc no its only one – Konstantinos Natsios Sep 06 '16 at 11:34
Are you redirecting from one link to another? – Nirav D Sep 06 '16 at 11:35
@mlidal its printing only the `https://example.com` – Konstantinos Natsios Sep 06 '16 at 11:35
No there is no redirection – Konstantinos Natsios Sep 06 '16 at 11:35
Maybe it's doing that when it loads `js` and `css` external files? – Konstantinos Natsios Sep 06 '16 at 11:39
Where you have initialise webview? Make sure you have set WebView delegate once. – Sumeet Bajaj Sep 06 '16 at 12:23
@SumeetBajaj the WebView Delegate is only once in my entire project. And the file that you see it is what it is! There is nothing else! One observation point is that if i set "https://google.com" it prints the correct order and time ` Started -> Finished` – Konstantinos Natsios Sep 06 '16 at 12:25
I don't see webView variable to be declare or initialised. Can you share URL you are requesting. – Sumeet Bajaj Sep 06 '16 at 12:34
@SumeetBajaj yes i forgot to paste it, although there is a variable called WebView... the URL is https://ledokosmos.gr/ – Konstantinos Natsios Sep 07 '16 at 10:29
