grammar - Is the comma between "question" and "so" needed? If so, why?

I have come across this problem numerous times. I am unsure of why a comma is needed in phrases such as the one below — between the words "question" and "so."



Our goal is to have the best answers to every question, so if you see questions or answers that can be improved, you can edit them.



I know why the second comma is needed, but I am unaware of why the first comma is needed. Perhaps someone could be kind enough to answer my question and explain why the comma is needed?
