I usually approach this by generating load with JMeter API tests and then having a small number of front end tests running in different geographies. This demonstrates how the front end behaves when the backend is under load. It isn’t usually necessary to try to provide load from the front end since usually only one user is on one laptop.

Should we include UI stuff along with APIs while recording the script?
