Magento 2.1.8 multiple JavaScript Requests

Question

I have set following configurations in admin ;
Enable JavaScript Bundling: Yes
Merge JavaScript Files: Yes
Minify JavaScript Files: Yes
and have done similar with CSS.
When I test my site with http://www.webpagetest.org I still see multiple JavaScript Requests - see screenshot. The domain is http://www.extenderstore.com.au - why is this occurring?

According to the Magento documentation, some JavaScript files are excluded from JavaScript Bundle file.

Moreover you must be in production mode.

http://devdocs.magento.com/guides/v2.1/frontend-dev-guide/themes/js-bundling.html

You can fine tuning the exclude list in your custom theme :

<vars module="Js_Bundle">
 <var name="bundle_size">1MB</var>
</vars>
<exclude>
