Once that is done, most web pages will still require multiple files of the same type, such as JavaScript or CSS files, in order to load. During development, it makes sense to separate this type of code into multiple files. However, the use of more individual files translates into more HTTP requests.
Bundling is the process of combining multiple files of the same type into a single file, which can then be transferred in a single request. The technique of bundling files is sometimes referred to as concatenating files. Fewer HTTP requests lead to faster page load performance. Bundling ...
