The one reason we don't use Google's CDN for our public website: Some of our business users block sites by domain or IP, so they allow our site but block google's CDN. It's a PITA to get a rule added to a client's security setup.
- joshuacc 16y agoDo you know why they block Google's CDN?
- misterbwong 16y agoI don't know their institutional reasoning, but I believe they are on a whitelist based system. They're not so much blocking Google as they are allowing us through.
- Encosia 16y agoThat's a scenario that the local-fallback technique handles well. The CDN reference will immediately fail for those overly-firewalled users, jQuery will be undefined in the next script block, and the fallback can detect that and inject a script element referencing a local copy instead.
