Browsers will use up to 6 connections to a server.  Note: these 
connections are usually short lived, and short of supporting HTTP(S) 2+,
and even then, you're not likely to reduce this.

It doesn't take up much overhead per connection, especially since most 
of those requests are static assets.  I don't know if Synchronet 
supports if-modified-since or E-Tag, and if it does, it's even less 
overhead.

In general, don't worry about it.  If you're seeing more than that, it's 
probably a search engine, you can limit this, for most good bots with a 
robots.txt file as appropriate in the web root.

It's complicated, but you can use a reverse proxy in front of your BBSes 
web application.  You may be able to integrate the certificate used for 
TLS (letsyncrypt.js), but don't know enough details to walk one through 
that, I hadn't tried/figured it out.
