Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/benbusby/whoogle-search/issues/655

When I use Whoogle I see several requests for static resources in my web browser.

Of course, this is not a big issue because the browser is smart and it has a cache to avoid requesting these files all the time.

My request is to use some tool to merge all CSS files into one and all JS files into one to increase page load speed.

In JS/NodeJS/NPM world we use Webpack to combine all static resources into one + minify the code (remove comments and other useless things for the browser). This is only required for production builds, you can have several files for development as it should be.

Example => https://code.luasoftware.com/tutorials/webpack/merge-multiple-css-into-single-file/

The problem is that, for example autocomplete.js is loaded depending on the environment variables.
