Rishay, This is not simple. If you set an http sampler to load all embedded objects that it should be measuring the entire time as you would want. However, browsers do it slightly differently.
IE for example will start requesting embedded objects as soon as it has parsed enough of the document to know what it should ask for. It may ask for the embedded objects in the same thread as the main page or using different threads/sockets, this will depend on how the objects are embedded and if you are using keep-alive or not. I am not quite so familiar with Firefox, however, I have seen it using multiple threads and it seems to hang onto sockets for keep-alive much longer and IE under some situations. This can improve performance, but then make mimicking its behavior even more difficult because performance will alter according to how fast the user clicks through the site! The simple answer is that you will have to carefully observe the traffic between the browser and the server and then work out how best to mimic that using JMeter. It is never going to be a 'point and click' situation. Such is life!

The Customer QA is using CompuWare QA Load and the results between this product and jmeter are vastly different. The team has indicated to me that JMeter is NOT measuring the time it takes from the moment of click until the page has fully loaded. It is merely measuring the page request time. Even though jmeter does not show the CSS...Does it download it? Does the timings include all the gifs/jpgs on the web page?
