For general webdev, using the CDNs is a great idea. Also, did you know that by using Salesforce Sites, you have access to your Public Static Resources? Thus, you have a public CDN via Salesforce. The key is that Cache Control must be Public on the Resource. http://mydomain.force.com/resource/resourceName https://mydomain.secure.force.com/resource/resourceName http://mydomain.force.com/resource/zipResource/filename https://mydomain.secure.force.com/zipResource/filename @jason @Kanji, you are both right :) Within Salesforce, it’s probably safest to use Static Resources, but odds are both solutions will work since both Salesforce and Google do a pretty good job of staying online.

I kind of mentally glossed over the fact that Salesforce has a high quality CDN. I'm used to developing stuff that will on some crummy in house server so anything I could offload was a bonus. Haven't totally transitioned to coding in the cloud mentality yet I guess. Jason, that is a really good point about multiple points of failure.

If you are using the other google libraries that involve invoking their custom APIs...like for maps ;-) , then you need the API key. So why don't I use the google/MS CDN? Well, salesforce.com actually has it's own CDN through akamai I think, and static files on sites pages are served through this. Not sure about internal apps. If I was hosting the jquery files from some cheap $4 a month web server I would probably use a google CDN but salesforce already has an enterprise grade global CDN. Also, it would be very rare but google CDN could, and I think has, gone down before. If salesforce goes down my apps will be down anyway. If salesforces is up and google is down my apps are down. This risk, for me, isn't worth the extra few milliseconds saved on page load....and only the first page load. Also, in the past these CDN did not have a https option and you would get mixed content warnings in IE. @scott Kenji is referring to theses static CDN files: http://code.google.com/apis/libraries/devguide.html You don’t need an API key.

I was reading the docs about using the AJAX loader. You are right. Also, the HTTPS version of those URLs work, which is nice for being in Salesforce. @Kenji776 Not sure why I didn’t think of that.

The following URLs work just fine for me. http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4.2/jquery.min.js http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.8.13/jquery-ui.min.js Maybe I'm not supposed to use them, but they've been doing the job so far :P I haven’t had to use any keys or anything.

Google's requires an API key tied to a URL. For a Managed Package, this won't work since there are so many URLs. For an in-house implementation, it will. It'll be nice when they move the key to their newer API Console so it's not URL dependent. I never even realized you could use those CDNs over HTTPS, but you can @Kenji776 .

It's much more likely the user would have it already downloaded from another site so it would already be cached and it's one less thing for you to host and worry about. Google also hosts the themes and the UI package as well. Just curious is there a reason you don’t use the google or microsoft CDN for jQuery?
