While this is fine for development and debugging, it's a pretty big performance hit for your users to download lots of CSS files. Combining them into 1 large file results in a page that loads quicker by reducing HTTP requests.

One thing I tend to do is instead of having all my styles in main.css
I will have a css folder and in it usualy something like main.css,
header.css, footer.css, maybe other things that are item specific like
menu.css, documenttable.css, sidemenu.css.

I use this so that it’s easier to find my styles when I need to and I can
exclude some pages if they are not needed. But some I talk to think
everything should be in one very long css file.
