If only there was something in the HTTP protocol to make it more efficient to load multiple requests from the same server. Alas that must be a pipe dream, and every little image and script is loaded separately.

Oh wait, it’s not 1996 anymore…?

I hear there's this new HTTP 2 spec that might be able to do something like that... but obviously we need to wait on browser support
