CDNJS vs Statically
cdnjs mirrors thousands of open-source JavaScript, CSS, and font libraries on Cloudflare's edge network, and its free `/libraries` and `/libraries/:library` endpoints expose the same catalogue as JSON — name, latest version, file list, SRI hashes, and linked GitHub metadata — backed by Algolia search. No key or signup is required for either the asset CDN or the metadata API, and responses cache for six hours server-side.
Statically is a free CDN that serves raw files straight from GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, and GitHub Gist repositories, plus any npm package, via simple path-based URLs like `cdn.statically.io/gh/:user/:repo@:tag/:file` — no key or account needed. It runs on bunny.net and Cloudflare edge infrastructure; the vendor disabled its former `/img/` image-processing endpoint after sustained abuse, so only the Git/npm file-serving routes remain live today.
