Yes! It's much faster than getting the files from your server.
To enhance loading speed, I learned that reducing the amount of HTTP requests is preferable. So, I grabbed a number of JavaScript plugins, including Bootstrap and GSAP, and integrated them into a single huge file. However, loading the JavaScript file on a live server took roughly 10 seconds 😥.
I examined the Network tab, and caching does not appear to be working. So I changed my strategy and started using CDN for JavaScript plugins, and the page loaded in only a few seconds.
Although the performance will vary depending on your server's specifications and settings, I advocate using CDN to load JavaScript plugins because they are automatically cached and will not be downloaded again when users reload the same page or visit other pages.
