Probably because Jmeter is not taking note of the "rel" attribute - which is a bug.
Thanks for confirming that.
AFAIK the same <link> tag is used for external CSS files, which should be downloaded. These use a different rel attribute.
Right. Just before the troublesome one is this one that I do want to download:
<link rel="STYLESHEET" type="text/css" href="jambo.css">
Jmeter also does not (yet) cache the downloaded resources, so it will download images every time, which a browser would not do.
So if you want a more accurate test, you should probably switch off "Retrieve all embedded resources" anyway, and download the extra resources manually.
I've thought about doing that, but since I have a random element to my test, that's still not sufficient for simulating what a real cache would do when retrieving pages in varying order. And listing all the resources individually would make the test harder to maintain.
