Javascript and load testing

The site I'm working with is run primarily with javascript. With javascript off in htmlunit, the only way to traverse the site is to keep using the command webClient.getPage(URL)

1. Do I need javascript on in htmlunit to generate load for a load test?

2. If I have it off does that change the amount of load created?

Hi Chad,

if your website works correctly when JS is disabled on the client, then
you can disable JS in HtmlUnit for your tests if you want.

If you want to perform load testing, HtmlUnit will need less resources
if you disable JS on the client side but, doing this, you may test
something else, eventually something that don't interest you. Whether
the difference of resource usage matters here or not depends from case
to case: you may hit other limits before having problems with CPU time.

I don't understand what you mean with "the only way to traverse the site
is to keep using the command webClient.getPage(URL)". Navigating through
a site is normally done by calling methods like click() to simulate what
a "normal" user would do.

cheers,
Marc.
