   javascript files.As they took long time to locate and load.Here is the pingdom
   tool result when I checked it for my site. ” **There are 3 JavaScript files served.
   They should be combined into as few files as possible.**

 * 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.

 * 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.
