Let's say you want to load CSS or JavaScript files that depend on other files. For example, you may want to load a JavaScript file that depends on jQuery being loaded first.
In this short tutorial, I will show you how the "Web assets" feature of Joomla 4 works.

Last year, website owners needed to deal with the new European privacy laws known as GDPR. We wrote a guide to Joomla and the GDPR.
This year, there are new European rules that involve eCommerce. There are two names for these new requirements:
- PSD2: Payment Services Directive.
- SCA: Strong Customer Authentication.
PSD2 is the overall set of laws and SCA is the specific group of regulations launching this month. So SCA is what we're going to talk about in this post.
