If you point cURL at a URL of a website it will download only the source HTML. You have to manually fetch CSS, images and other attachments via additional cURL requests to each of the resources URLs.

If you are having performance issues with cURL, consider paralleling your requests using curl_multi_* functions. http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.curl-multi-init.php
