## Description In MXNet website, JQuery script is loaded from google CDN in `<head>` ```html <script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js";></script> ``` But this CDN is known banned in China, as you can see here: + [Similar Github issues on other website](https://github.com/kubeflow/website/issues/81) + [Things to Consider When Building a Website in China](https://www.labsterx.com/blog/things-to-consider-when-building-a-website-in-china-9-shtml/) + [Can webflow team replace “ajax.googleapis.com” with a reachable URL for China?](https://forum.webflow.com/t/can-webflow-team-replace-ajax-googleapis-com-with-a-reachable-url-for-china/29284) It not only blocks website from loading, but also breaks all the interaction on MXNet website. (e.g. dropdown, installation guide, search etc. ) ### Error Message `ReferenceError: jQuery is not defined[Learn More]` ## Proposed solutions We need to solve this problem so that users in China can visit MXNet website without any problem. Here are 3 solutions: + Use an alternative CDN as a backup, when google CDN fails load the resource from backup CDN , as discussed [in this question](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1014203/best-way-to-use-googles-hosted-jquery-but-fall-back-to-my-hosted-library-on-go)(**Preferable**) + Replace google CDN by another CDN (**Not preferable**, google CDN works well in other countries only except China) + Hosting jQuery locally (**Not preferable** performance-wise, reasons can be found [here](https://meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/258288/use-of-ajax-googleapis-com-not-china-friendly) ) ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
