What is cdnjs?
Everyone loves the Google CDN? Even Microsoft runs their own CDN. The problem is, they only host the most popular libraries. We host it all - JavaScript, CSS, SWF, images, etc! Powered by CloudFlare.
What is CloudFlare?
Cloudflare speeds up and protects millions of websites, APIs, SaaS services, and other properties connected to the Internet.
What is MaxCDN?
The MaxCDN Content Delivery Network efficiently delivers your site’s static file through hundreds of servers instead of slogging through a single host. This "smart route" technology distributes your content to your visitors via the city closest to them.
