This post and half the comments are killing me on conflating "third party javascript" with "CDN".


Yes. While I completely agree with the author and their quest to eliminate third party scripts from their site, the problem isn't with CDNs. The problem is with third party scripts, most of which aren't coming from a typical CDN (cdnjs, for example).

It is entirely valid, and common, to front your own application code behind a CDN.

Love the sentiment, just wish the terminology was more accurate.
