Hey there I’ve just been looking at using JQuery on my website I am developing.. A quick question; Am I able to just link to their script file? e.g.:
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.5/jquery.min.js"></script>
or do I need to upload my own copy to a server?
Thanks in advance.
It is considered good practice to use jQuery hosted on Google’s CDN.
It is most likely already cached, it allows an additional parallel download (if the user agent is limited to only a few requests per domain) and it is probably served faster.
You can also provide a fallback.
