System - Bundler
Introduction
Your Joomla site is loading 40+ JavaScript and CSS files on every page, and each one is a separate request slowing everything down. System - Bundler automatically combines those files into just a few optimized bundles, cutting your page requests by 90% and reducing file sizes by up to 80%. Your visitors get faster load times, Google sees better performance metrics, and you never think about it again.
Proof
Real results from production sites:
- 25 script files → 2 bundles (92% fewer requests)
- 363KB CSS → 69KB (81% smaller)
- 251KB JavaScript → 67KB (73% smaller)

How It Works
You tell Bundler which JavaScript and CSS files load on every page of your site. It combines them into single minified files and compresses them with gzip. When visitors load your site, their browser downloads 2-4 optimized bundles instead of dozens of individual files. The bundles update automatically whenever you install or update extensions.
Features
- Automatic updates - Bundles rebuild whenever you update extensions, so you're always serving optimized files
- Preserves script behavior - Keeps defer and async attributes intact, so your JavaScript executes exactly as intended
- Smart caching - After the first page load, bundles are cached and reused, making subsequent pages lightning fast
- Invisible to visitors - Works completely in the background with zero impact on user experience
- Debugging built-in - Each bundle includes comments showing which files are included, making troubleshooting simple
- Free forever - No premium version, no feature limits, no tricks
