How can including multiple PHP scripts in a main script impact the functionality and performance of a website?

Including multiple PHP scripts in a main script can impact the functionality and performance of a website by increasing the load time due to the additional file reads and processing required. To mitigate this, you can use PHP's `include_once` or `require_once` functions to include scripts only once to prevent duplicate processing and reduce the overall load time. 

<?php
require_once 'script1.php';
require_once 'script2.php';
require_once 'script3.php';
// Main script logic here
?>
