Ease of reading edit. Made punctuation regular.

I simply can't understand the logic to sit around and do nothing while the site is horribly broken from China. | |

| Jul 14, 2015 at 5:41 | comment | added | Pacerier | @waffles, I disagree with your first paragraph. The proposal does not need to cascade because there's nothing stopping it from being treated as a case-by-case basis. The question would be whether there's a real observed problem with a majority of visitors. And as for Google's CDN, there's actually such a real problem. Also see Use of ajax.googleapis.com not China friendly. | |
| May 24, 2014 at 15:21 | comment | added | Arjan | Just curious: "the reality is that 20% of our page views have an unprimed cache" — were you actually somehow measuring the availability of jQuery for those requests? | |

As an aside: showing a warning when sstatic.net fails to load might also be easily achieved? That's already nicely done for jQuery, but that very check is in code loaded from sstatic.net. So, a warning for sstatic.net needs code from the regular domains themselves.

Sure, using cdn.sstatic.net instead of Google's CDN also sounds good to me. It doesn't matter if we can load jQuery when we can't load the scripts that use it. +1
