Host it on your own infrastructure so that it's the same reliability as your site itself?
- gruez 3y agoThat might be doable if the library is jquery or whatever, but how are you going to replace google maps? Hosting an OSM tiles server is non-trivial, and I highly doubt that you'll be able to host it with better reliability than google.
- bandergirl 3y agojQuery isn't Google Maps. Different tools have different solutions. You can save your site by self-hosting jQuery, but if your business depends on Google Maps you should at least handle failure more gracefully than a blank screen.
- TheCleric 3y agoI have done that in the past, but there is an upside to not doing it that way. If you use a CDN, and the user has already loaded it from the CDN via another site, that's only less thing to download. So it can make your site seem faster for a subset of users.
- bandergirl 3y ago> the user has already loaded it from the CDN via another site That hasn't been true for years due to timing attacks. See: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24745748 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24745748
- TheCleric 3y agoDid not know this had changed. Thanks for the information.
