Yes, you are right about that. "never a good idea" was perhaps a bit strong. You also always get the latest version of course.
However, I could be wrong here, but when you link to say a google font, or font awesome, in the <head> or @import in the css, every time the page is loaded the page has to communicate with the google server to access the relevant data. That surely must take longer than collecting a local file you have downloaded and made available on your own server. For instance, I often see a pause on loading sites while it is 'waiting for google analytics..' etc. However, I suppose the browser loads the resources separately anyway, so does it matter if it is getting it from your server or elsewhere? I really don't know - lack of basic understanding on my part showing here I suspect. |
