I'm trying to simulate a connection to a website. The goal of the simulation is to collect statistics on page loading time on browser side.
I configured JMeter Flagging the option Retrieve Embedded Resources in order to simulate the real time to load the whole page. The issue is that while from a real Browser i have a response time (let's assume for the page A the response time is 10 seconds) in JMeter I found i response time 20 times higher.
It seems JMeter takes a much longer time to gather embedded resources (e.g. js, images, ...)
Do you have any suggestion for this issue?
Kind Regards
Update 31/07
I discovered some resources are not completely downloaded. Using Firebug i see some components with 0 bytes downloaded that the browsere keep trying to download (but the user do not percieve since the page is loaded). Therefore i suspect JMeter keeps trying downloading it. Is there any chance to set a timeout to overcome this kind of situation?
Update_1 31/07 I figured out that the issue is related with nested iframes. setting httpsampler.max_frame_depth=0 i get the correct time. however i would like to understand the reason of this issue. Do I have to set other paramters?
