By default, Magento 1.6 will not merge the Javascript files of your web store. Merging the files, can help speed up your website by reducing the number of HTTP requests made. However, merging the javascript files can make it more difficult to troubleshoot while your shopping cart is in development. Merging the Javascript files is accomplished in the Magento 1.6 Admin Backend.

Log into your Magento Admin Backend
Go to System ->> Configuration

Click on “Developer” in the left side menu pane
Open the “JavaScript Settings” section
Change the “Merge Javascript Files” to “Yes“

Click “Save Config“
