Upload to CDN

[ohadschn]

Would be great to be able to fetch this from some CDN...

It would.. 🤔 any suggestions? My usual method involves making it an npm module (which would probably be a good idea anyway) and then using http://unpkg.com/greedy-nav as my script src.

Wow, that is a very cool trick. I only knew about cdnjs (CloudFlare) but they seemed to have gotten picky about the libraries they serve. I would still try them first as they are the most established CDN, where as far as I can tell unpkg is a one-man project (I would be a little wary of risking my site breaking if he decided to take it down)...

@ohadschn there's also jsDelivr which support serving from npm (like unpkg) and GitHub, but was built for production usage and has the largest network from all OSS CDNs.

[ohadschn]

@MartinKolarik wow, that looks great! Not sure what you mean by the largest network (this site suggests that it's not as popular as cdnjs) but it definitely looks production ready.

@ohadschn that's most likely right as cdnjs exists longer. What I meant was that jsDelivr uses a combination of three CDN providers plus another one in China, which results in the best possible performance and uptime (cdnjs/unpkg only use Cloudflare).

Thanks for the suggestions! I have never had any issues with unpkg (which is still my preferred approach, in the name of consistency) but will look into the other options and try get it up somewhere 👍

[ohadschn]

I'm sold on jsDelivr. Would really prefer it over unpkg which is again, a one-man project which isn't even on the cdnperf.com list...
