I don't know what is UI/UX performance testing, however you might want 
to assess *frontend* 
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frontend_and_backend> performance.

If it's a once-only action you can use a specialized solution like 
Lighthouse <https://developer.chrome.com/docs/lighthouse/overview>

In case you want to automate it and run along with JMeter tests you can 
consider using a browser automation framework like Selenium 
<https://www.selenium.dev/>. There is WebDriver Sampler 
<https://jmeter-plugins.org/wiki/WebDriverSampler/> plugin which 
provides JMeter + Selenium integration, it can be installed using JMeter 
Plugins Manager <https://www.blazemeter.com/blog/jmeter-plugins-manager>
