    Hi,

    New here, hope I find hew friends :)
    My question is this, I used Gtmetrix.com to evaluate my page speed & there are many requests on my website like many css & Js.
    Gtmetrix recommend to combine them, so how can I combine them into one while they are loading from multiple sources! is it possible?

    Most of the requests will be the result of multiple css & js files, some are going to be unavoidable but others may be able to be combined if you combine the files - but you really, really don't want to do that as it will be a pain when you need to upgrade any particular feature, the chances that you will screw up will be high.

    Consider a simpler template that doesn't need to make ajax calls just to get started.
