Thanks for your replies Deepak and Sebb. I tried retrieving all embedded resources. When I add a view results tree listener and select the homepage.html, I see a couple of images and some text but not the complete page. If I record and have JMeter get everything then at least I retrieve those missing image, css and js files.
My test plan looks something like: - getHomePage (simple controller) -- homepageHTML -- image1.png -- image2.png -- someJavaScript.js -- anotherImageFile.png -- etc - getPageTwo -- pageTwoHTML -- image1.png -- image2.png -- someJavaScript.js -- anotherImageFile.png -- etc. When I run the test and I look at the aggregate results I see an entry for each individual piece of content on the page. Is there any way to view the results in total i.e. rather than seeing individual response times for all elements I see an overall response time for that entire page, the sum of all the elements? The simple controller is only that and it doesn't allow me to get a timing result for it. I can't add the image/css/etc. get requests as child nodes of the original homepage get request. I'm a little stumped as to how to do this.
