Does anyone know a free CDN for blueprint css framework

you can try to use jare.io, a free and instant CDN – Disturbing

Well, it's not technically a CDN but you can link directly to github

<link rel="stylesheet" href="//github.com/joshuaclayton/blueprint-css/raw/master/blueprint/print.css"/>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="//github.com/joshuaclayton/blueprint-css/raw/master/blueprint/screen.css"/>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="//github.com/joshuaclayton/blueprint-css/raw/master/blueprint/ie.css"/>

I haven't tried this myself, and don't know if they might change it at any given moment. But it's a solution for not having to host it yourself.

For me, I would put it on my own server, I prefer not to have the dependency, and they are small files. But if you're trying to squeeze every ms I'd test it. Your servers may be faster, and a connection to them is already established.

At the same time, many browsers have a connection limit for each domain, so you may get parallel downloads, also a CDN is nice because the user often has the resource already cached (although, not likely in this case).

Personally, I wouldn't do it, unless it's Google, Microsoft, Amazon, etc... and they're putting it on their servers specifically for the purpose. I use the Google CDN for jQuery, and it's great. But Blueprint just isn't there yet.

Hi Dan, thanks for the replay. One little question.. what do you think about the loading performance I will try this by myself and post the results thanks again sameera – Puklich

-1, you want a CDN to have good performance and caching behavior, which GitHub's raw view of a file doesn't – Inveteracy

yup, my first sentence "Well, it's not technically a CDN". It may not be the answer he wanted, doesn't mean it's a bad answer. – Bergerac

Thanks figuring and alternate... +1 from me. it is helpful when doing basic development work. – Titbit
