I disagree. Depending on server application some resources maybe generated and come cacheable. So you shouldn't just disable resources load.
JMeter HAS item to simulate browser's cache behavior. It's Cache Manager.

Yes, as Felix mentioned, it is good practice. Idea is static content would be cached by browsers generally, so would be downloaded only once. If you run them thru JMeter (without caching enabled), JMeter would fetch them every time overloading the network. This is not a normal use case scenario, so it's better to remove static content like images, css, java script, etc from your samplers. ______________________________ Sudip Kumar Bhattacharya, PMP Senior Principal Consultant, BPM Track, Products Org Genpact, Delhi, India C +91 98995 16992 E [email protected] www.genpact.com -----Original Message----- From: Felix Frank [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, June 25, 2010 5:01 PM To: JMeter Users List Subject: Re: Is it good practise to exclude common page items during record? Generally, it is good practice. Probably, the checkbox "retrieve embedded contents" in the HTTP sampler will do what you want. Only keep recorded samplers for actual HTTP content (be it php, aspx or whatever) and have Jmeter deal with the images.
