    Hello!

    1. You have no power over the external files, like those from Facebook, Google, or any other 3rd party website, simply because they’re not on your website.

    2. Some files must be separated in order to function properly.

    3. I think that combining files is not such a big deal anymore, since the appearance of HTTP/2, which any respectable hosting should support.

    It’s considered a deprecated technique, and some say that it can even slow down your site when used with HTTP/2.

    If you’re on a hosting that doesn’t support HTTP/2, then yes, you should combine whatever possible.

    Use this tool to check your website(s) – https://tools.keycdn.com/http2-test

    Thank you very much for quick response.I’ve checked from the link you provided and my host supports HTTP/2.Can I host the script on my own server?Is this a good way to solve the issue?Or I can leave this as it is?

    Then it’s good news, so don’t worry about it.

    And if you mean if you can host external scripts from 3rd party websites on your own server, then no.
