I was hoping somebody on this forum might have some experience with this issue although I appreciate it's not a question for most lol.

Creating a mobile site here in China has come with one small problem for me and it comes down to what JQuery src to use. Usually in the west I could use the Google or Microsoft libary but both either don't work or are slow.

I've found this src but just wondered if there is a better choice (speed/stability) as have no idea what's best (just found this link by searching).

upcdn.b0.upaiyun.com/libs/jquery/jquery-1.9.1.min.js

Just a question with a bit of hope lol

Can't you just download the JS and put it in same place where the rest of your website is?

If you include JS from random website, you have absolutely no guarantee over its content. One day it will just start redirecting users to some porn site.

Why the hell would you load JQuery from a CDN? They change the framework, they break your site.

Better just load it locally and update it after testing.

Sounds like webdesign 101 to me though.

OK I'll take that on board...but wasn't looking for random site, more a big name (baidu etc)

I just thought the bonus of doing it this way was that if a user came to your site and had already been to a site using the same library it wouldn't need to be reloaded as cached on device, equaling faster load times.

Maybe I'm wrong lol.

it's only a few tens of kB, why would you bother. A tiny decrease in load times isn't worth your independence. Run it locally.

Yeah I've gone with that option now. I think it's something that can be more applicable in the West when everyone is using Google so the src becomes more useful and reliable.
