A note from the author:
w3techs has recently published their
Web Technologies of the Year 2020 report.
The cdnjs team are incredibly happy to see that cdnjs has been listed as the top CDN for the fifth year in a row.
A huge thanks to all our sponsors that help keep cdnjs running, and to our community for
continuing to use our free and open-source CDN service. 🧡
This month (December 2020), cdnjs served over 211 billion requests. 🖥
This month, cdnjs used a huge consumption of 3.81 PB of data to serve these requests. 📤
That's nearly 123 terabytes of data and 6.8 billion requests each day (averaged). 🤯
In December, each request to cdnjs used only 17.99 KB of data on average. 🔍
Library highlights
The top three assets on cdnjs remained the same as last month, with WebFontLoader (1.6.28/webfontloader.js) taking
up first place, followed by jQuery (3.3.1/jquery.min.js) and FontAwesome (4.7.0/css/font-awesome.min.css).
These three assets alone accounted for 18.2 billion requests, over 8% of the total requests to cdnjs in December.
WebFontLoader saw a decrease in requests from 7.9 billion to 6.8 billion, but remained in first place still, with
jQuery increasing from 5.9 to 6.3 billion and FontAwesome seeing a slight drop from 5.2 billion to 5.1 billion.
The assets in fourth and fifth placed switched this month, with FontAwesome's main font file
(4.7.0/fonts/fontawesome-webfont.woff2) rising to be in 4th, and jQuery MouseWheel (3.1.13/jquery.mousewheel.min.js)
falling to 5th.
This continues the downward trend we've seen over the last few months for jQuery MouseWheel, with it starting out in
2nd place back in August 2020 and falling one place every month since. Across all assets in the top 100, FontAwesome
received 12.2 billion requests in December for 10 files (5 different versions).
jQuery remained the top library overall once again this month, based on the most popular 100 assets on the CDN, with
14.5 billion requests to jQuery assets in the top 100, across 10 different files and versions.
GSAP remained the second most popular library overall on cdnjs in December, with 14.2 billion requests for its 22
files in the top 100 assets on cdnjs this month, accounting for 19 different versions of the library. Between jQuery
and GSAP, they account for just over 1 PB of bandwidth consumption in December, with jQuery assets in the top 100
using 601 TB and GSAP's assets 405 TB.
Requests & Bandwidth
Top 5 Resources
Total number of requests
The first important stat that we are given is the total number of requests sent to cdnjs.cloudflare.com.
Cloudflare provides this number to us at a 1% sample for the whole month, giving 2,114,600,539 at 1%.
When multiplied up to 100%, this results in cdnjs serving approximately 211,460,053,900 requests in December.
Over 211 billion requests or around 6.8 billion requests every single day of December. 📈
This month our total requests to the CDN was ever so slightly down overall compared to last month, where we saw 215
billion requests. Looking at the per-day average, we went from 7.2 billion to 6.8 billion. However, looking back to
previous months such as October where we saw 6.3 billion requests per day, it is apparent that the CDN is continuing to
grow.
Total bandwidth usage
Another great stat that Cloudflare has given us again is the bandwidth usage for the cdnjs.cloudflare.com domain.
This number, like total requests, is provided at a 1% sample for the month and in gigabytes: 38,050.6 GB.
When multiplied up to be 100%, this produces the estimate of 3,805,060.0 GB of bandwidth used for this month by
cdnjs, or 3.81 PB.
This gives cdnjs a massive bandwidth consumption of 3.81 petabytes of data for requests in December. 🤯
Even with the slight decrease in requests this month, the overall bandwidth usage on cdnjs increased, going from 17.63
KB per request on average last month to 17.99 KB per request in December. The bandwidth usage of cdnjs continues to
steadily climb each month, with this being the second highest monthly usage we've ever seen, only being beaten by the
anomalous spike seen in September 2020.
