  1. Add HTTP Request sampler and configure it to hit the page which you need to measure

    enter image description here

  2. At the "Advanced" tab tick Retrieve All Embedded Resources and Parallel Downloads boxes, in addition you can exclude external domains there as well to limit JMeter to only your application:

    enter image description here

  3. Add HTTP Cache Manager to your Test Plan (real browsers download embedded resources like images, scripts, styles, fonts, but do this only once)

  4. Add HTTP Header Manager to your Test Plan and configure it to send headers which browsers normally send like User-Agent, Accept, etc.
  5. Add HTTP Cookie Manager to handle cookies

That's it, now you should have more or less realistic page load time. Remember that JMeter is not a browser so it doesn't execute JavaScript so if there are any JavaScript-generated calls - you will need to add a separate HTTP Request sampler per call and put them all under Parallel Controller
