Can I use the Web Service Client in ScenarioBuilder to check if webpages have finished loading?

Can I test the time it takes to load a webpage using ScenarioBuilder?

Hi George,

Why don’t you use an image to validate if the page is loaded or not? Isn’t it easier? You can also put it in a transaction to get the response time.

The short answer is yes, it is possible to do that by using the “Web Service Client” action in ScenarioBuilder.

You will have to know all the HTTP requests and their parameters that are done in a web browser. To get these parameters, you will have to open the development tool in the browser you use and get the request URL and headers, and then for each HTTP request, you will have to add a “Web Service Client” action that has the same parameters. You can wrap the action with transaction actions to get the time it took to get a response from that URL.

For example, to check how long it takes to load google website, you can check the scenario below:
