Can I Use Google's CDN for jQuery UI CSS and How Should I Handle External Plugins?

Google CDN for jQuery UI CSS

When leveraging Google to download the jQuery library for UI and Core, you may wonder whether you can also download the accompanying CSS from Google's CDN or require self-hosting. Additionally, concerns arise about loading external plugins and whether they should be compressed into a single file or stored separately.

CSS Download from Google CDN

The Google AJAX Libraries API, which hosts jQuery UI (currently v1.10.3), provides access to popular themes as outlined by the jQuery UI blog:

External Plugin Handling

Regarding external plugins, it is not recommended to compress them into a single file as it can affect their performance and potentially lead to issues with dependencies. Instead, it is advisable to load them as separate files, ensuring that they are correctly initialized and configured for optimal functionality.
