Delay Raspberry Pi Program

Question

I use Raspberry Pi to automatically display a web page at startup.

Problem: as soon as the raspberries start, Midori starts, but I have the message "Can not Resolve Hostname ....".

When I refresh a web page 30 seconds after launch, it displays correctly.

How can I delay the start of Midori after X seconds?

I launched my webpage using /etc/xdg/lxsession/LXDE/autostart
