So there's a lot of hype that you should use a CDN to improve performance, but I don't agree that this is a silver bullet for all cases - eg implement CDNs an all is well...
Our website, for instance, is based in Sweden. We currently use this URL for our jQuery needs: https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.2/jquery.min.js
I'm thinking of concatenate the jQuery script with the rest of our scripts to remove one HTTP request and get complete control over the delivery. I don't like dependencies on the uptime of external resources, even if Googles is slightly better then ours.
But I'm not sure - I would likt to measure how many actually use this CDN. Because there's a lot of different CDNs for hosting jQuery, which one is the most popular among my visitors?
Any ideas would be appreciated!
