Maven测试Web应用程序的响应时间？

Question

I have a webapp that recently started to show slowness even when the homepage is loaded in the browser.

Since I'm using Maven to manage it, I thought I could add some simple test to check the load time of the homepage or of a specific page — I never wrote one, so I don't know if this is feasible.

I don't need anything fancy, just something that says: "if load time is greater than X seconds, signal it" (ie stop the build process); that way I will be alerted that a recent change is making things worse, so I do not discover them too late.

Is this even possible with the current available tools and / or plugins? What should I look for?

A CI server is not available at this time, so I can only rely on anything that can be automated by Maven.

Beside suggestions about what tool to use to perform the tests, I need help making the test run automatically in my Maven setup (ie they should run when I call mvn clean package or some other goal and stop the build if a problem is detected).

You can use Selenium to perform web tests, configuring it to timeout if some part of the web page is not loaded in the specified time

....
WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(webDriver, 5);
wait.until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOfElementLocated(By.xpath("myxpath")));
....

You can also use JMeter to perform load testing.
