jsDelivr
jsDelivr is a free CDN for open-source files from GitHub and npm. It delivers JavaScript, ESM and other web formats through web and API platforms, with 540 edge locations. The Free CDN plan costs nothing and has no bandwidth limits or premium features. Its multi-CDN network uses Cloudflare, Fastly, Bunny, GCore and custom servers where coverage is limited. Load balancing uses recent performance and availability data, while two DNS providers, health monitoring and multiple origin data centers provide failover. Package tools include on-demand file combining and minification, source maps and version aliases. The API exposes package versions, tags, files, entry-point suggestions, download statistics and network-wide usage statistics. ESM delivery supports modern browsers, Node.js and Deno, with HTTP/3, Brotli compression, caching and dependency preloading. The project links Terms of Use and a Privacy Policy.
