Probably because Jmeter is not taking note of the "rel" attribute - which is a bug. AFAIK the same <link> tag is used for external CSS files, which should be downloaded. These use a different rel attribute. 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. > -- > Danny R.
