AI-generated summary

This post introduces the Microsoft Public CDN, which offers fast and comprehensive services for accelerating CSS, JS, and other resources. It uses UNPKG, jsDelivr, and cdnjs mirrors, as well as font file acceleration and collaboration with NetEase Cloud. The CDN uses Byte Volcano Engine and Douyin Cloud CDN for domestic acceleration and Cloudflare CDN for international acceleration. To use the CDN, simply replace unpkg.com and cdn.jsdelivr.net with npm.onmicrosoft.cn and jsd.onmicrosoft.cn. Sponsoring the CDN allows access to a token for cache refreshing, but it is important to comply with the EULA and not accelerate image resources or large font files to avoid being banned. The CDN has a daily traffic limit of 24 GB per domain, but this limit has not been reached. Abusive behavior such as using npm for website building or GitHub as an image hosting service will result in being listed as abuse and being banned.

Another fast public CDN mirror, thanks to Zkeq for providing the service.

Introduction#

I have been using this CDN for quite some time now. The service is quite comprehensive, with mirrors for UNPKG, jsDelivr, and cdnjs. It also accelerates font files and even collaborates with Net Shield Planet.

For domestic acceleration, it uses the Byte Volcano Engine and Doji Cloud CDN, while for international acceleration, it uses Cloudflare CDN, which is quite fast.

Usage#

Official website: https://cdn.onmicrosoft.cn

Just simply replace unpkg.com and cdn.jsdelivr.net with npm.onmicrosoft.cn and jsd.onmicrosoft.cn, respectively.

After sponsorship, you can obtain a token for refreshing the cache. However, please note that you should use it in compliance with the EULA. Accelerating image resources and your own large font files are not allowed, otherwise, your referrer and links will be banned.

I have been using it for a long time and the experience is quite good. I hope that public welfare projects like this can go further.

Limitations#

Currently, it only supports accelerating CSS, JS, and other resources. The official website states that there is a daily traffic limit of 24 GB per domain, but it seems that it has never been reached in practice.

Behaviors such as building websites with npm and using GitHub as an image hosting service will be listed as abuse and result in a ban. Please cherish and use it properly, and avoid misuse.
