Is GSAP down?

When stuff like this happens, then yes! :) But it's pretty rare and it will likely be fixed by the time I've written this. Upside of CDNs are better performance, caching, automatic version bumps if you want to load the latest versions (though this can also cause issues with breaking changes) etc but it depends on the site you're running and your server capability. Personally I've never had any issues hosting files locally...but servers can go down too ;)

Historically CDNs are very reliable but this is Cloudflare's second outage in the last month, so that's a bit surprising.

 

In production it's probably best to use multiple CDNs so that if one goes down there's a backup (alternative CDNs include JSDelivr). 

 

CDNs going down is not in our control but we're still sorry about the outage!

Most CDNs have stopped this practice as it lead to more issues that it was worth. But CDNs can help with performance and load size due to cacheing and distribution of their servers.

It's just an extra line of code.

<script src="cdn1.gsap.js"></script>
<script>window.gsap || document.write('<script src="cdn2.gsap.js">\x3C/script>')</script>
