Is the server the problem?<\/h3><p>Often not. Slow runs are usually the test plan itself: active listeners, heavy assertions and samplers that are not part of the scenario you meant to measure.<\/p><h3>What should I remove?<\/h3><p>Any request that does not contribute to the journey under test. Static assets and stray calls inflate the run and dilute the numbers you care about.<\/p><h3>Does running non-GUI help?<\/h3><p>Substantially. The GUI consumes the CPU and memory you wanted for generating load, so a plan that struggles in the interface often runs comfortably headless.<\/p><!-- \/pn-faq --><!-- pn-related-reading --><h2>Related reading<\/h2><ul><li><a href=\"https:\/\/loadfocus.com\/blog\/2025\/09\/online-api-tester-complete-guide-to-testing-apis\">Online API Tester: Complete Guide to Testing APIs in 2026<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/loadfocus.com\/blog\/2013\/07\/apache-jmeter-performance-test-introduction\">Introduction to Apache JMeter Performance Testing<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/loadfocus.com\/blog\/2024\/07\/quickly-establish-a-performance-baseline-a-simple-guide-for-immediate-results\">How to Quickly Establish a Performance Baseline<\/a><\/li><\/ul>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><span class=\"span-reading-time rt-reading-time\" style=\"display: block;\"><span class=\"rt-label rt-prefix\"><\/span> <span class=\"rt-time\"> 3<\/span> <span class=\"rt-label rt-postfix\">minutes read<\/span><\/span>Key takeaways Slow JMeter runs are usually the test plan, not the server: listeners, assertions and excess samplers.
