copied!<p>There are several scenarios when you might <em>not</em> want to use jQuery from Google's CDN:</p> <ol> <li><p><strong>When you are building an intranet application where the web server is hosted on the same network as the clients.</strong> If you use Google's CDN jQuery, you will be making a call to the internet rather than a webserver on the local network. This increases bandwidth for your organization, and is slower.</p></li> <li><p><strong>When you want to run your application offline</strong>. (Quite linked to the first issue) If you need to work on a development environment (managed for example with <a href="http://bower.io" rel="noreferrer">Bower</a>), you might need to be able to make your application work without any internet connection (ie: in a train :)</p></li> <li><p><strong>When you need to customize it</strong>. For example if you use <a href="http://gruntjs.com" rel="noreferrer">Grunt</a> to build the library in order to use only certain modules or setting the <a href="https://github.com/jquery/jquery#amd-name" rel="noreferrer">AMD name</a></p></li> <li><p><strong>When you are serving pages over SSL that require jQuery.</strong> You should serve the JavaScript over SSL as well as your page to avoid security problems and warnings.</p></li> </ol> <p>Also, <a href="http://weblogs.asp.net/scottgu/archive/2009/09/15/announcing-the-microsoft-ajax-cdn.aspx" rel="noreferrer">Microsoft hosts jQuery</a> on their CDN. That is another choice comparable to using Google's hosted jQuery.</p>
