It is ideal to eliminate javascript execution from your performance test. The performance of javascript execution is variable, based upon client-side factors, such as browser, and platform. The metrics that you will likely want to report are:
- The total time to download each embedded resource (CSS, javascript, images, etc...). This type of sub-request is a HTTP GET request.You will need to save results as XML, this will be the elapsed value of the sub-requests. - Overall page load time. This is the elapsed value of each parent request. - If a page returns any type of query (usually as the response to a POST), you will want the time to return the query results, exclusive of embeded resources. This would be the response time of the first request, which is the parent node in the XML results. This will be the latency value of the parent request.
