- billyhoffman 13y agoActually, these shared "JavaScript CDNs" actually slow down your site. http://zoompf.com/blog/2010/01/should-you-use-javascript-library-cdns http://zoompf.com/blog/2010/01/should-you-use-javascript-lib... http://statichtml.com/2011/google-ajax-libraries-caching.html http://statichtml.com/2011/google-ajax-libraries-caching.htm... tl;dr: the URLs are too fragmented to get cache hits for commonly used shared libraries, so you end up having to do a DNS lookup and download them over a cold TCP/HTTP connection. This is slower than simply serving the 20-30KB of data directly from you own site. Update even more recent stats from 2013. The Html5 boiler plate project decided against shared JavaScript CDNs: https://github.com/h5bp/html5-boilerplate/pull/1327 https://github.com/h5bp/html5-boilerplate/pull/1327

- deelowe 13y agoI'm amazed by the number of admins that don't know about this tool.
