Right, better to have your site fail today, then to risk it failing in the future. You couldn't make an archive of your site for emergency access.

Why would it fail today? If I can't serve an asset then my whole server is down.

If you are an e-commerce site serving hundreds of images worldwide then CDNs make a tonne of sense.

If you just have a simple site or SaaS getting decent traffic, why add a failure point by including your choosen JS with a CDN. No one batts an eyelid when you add ten images to the homepage but somehow a single, much smaller JS file is too much extra load. It doesn't stand up to reason.

Noting I couldn't quite figure out the tone of your comment to know if you were agreeing or disagreeing.
