Before:

~/content/stylesheets/reset.css
~/content/stylesheets/site.css
~/content/scripts/jquery.min.js
~/content/scripts/jquery-ui-1.7.1.custom.min.js
~/content/stylesheets/smoothness/jquery-ui-1.7.1.custom.css
~/content/scripts/site.js

After:

http://yui.yahooapis.com/2.7.0/build/reset/reset-min.css
~/content/stylesheets/site.css

http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.3.1/jquery.min.js

http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.7.1/jquery-ui.min.js

http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.7.1/themes/smoothness/jquery-ui.css

~/content/scripts/site.js

My app is now using Google and Yahoo’s content delivery networks (CDNs) to host most of its javascript and CSS files. This will improve client load times, and browsers can cache and share between all other sites that use them. Much better I think!
