JQuery has its own well-established CDN: jQuery's CDN provided by MaxCDN --- To use the jQuery CDN, just reference the file directly from http://code.jquery.com in the script tag: <script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.10.1.min.js";></script> <script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-migrate-1.2.1.min.js";></script> --
Bootstrap has it's own as well: http://www.bootstrapcdn.com As far as your other points: Your web site is much more likely to go down than the CDN Your web site usage is tracked no matter what you do anyway. Using any google services, etc. most users use google to go to your web site anyway these days. NSA will track your web site (or more likely your users) anyway if they run windows at least. They have hooks into ISPs, and this is especially true if you use any cloud services. Bottom line is you have lots of higher risks with any technology than using the CDNs, and benefits from CDNs are huge, like non-duplication of JQuery / bootstrap from other web sites people use, giving your web site superior performance, etc. On Sep 16, 2013, at 8:01 AM, Thiago H de Paula Figueiredo wrote: > On Sun, 15 Sep 2013 20:14:55 -0300, Lenny Primak <lpri...@hope.nyc.ny.us> > wrote: > >> I think there are lots of advantages and few downsides of doing this. >> It can, of course (optionally) can be turned off, but, in this day and age, >> I think Tapestry should consider it. > > A huge -1 to that. > > 1) Which CDN? > 2) If the CDN goes down, all your JavaScript goes down too. > 3) The CDN would be able to track your website users, and there's already too > many organizations doing that (NSA included). > > -- > Thiago H. de Paula Figueiredo > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tapestry.apache.org > For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tapestry.apache.org > --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tapestry.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tapestry.apache.org
