jsDelivr
npm + GitHub package CDN — free, unlimited, no card
jsDelivr
Role
Browser-side delivery of npm packages, used primarily for
@chirag127/oriz-kit and any other public family package consumed
via <script type="module"> or import-map. The canonical URL shape is:
https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@chirag127/oriz-kit@latest/dist/index.jsThis lets static-site embeds (e.g. extensions’ marketing pages, the oriz-home portal, third-party demos) pull oriz-kit primitives without a build step. Sites that DO have a build step still bundle from npm locally — jsDelivr is for the no-bundler case.
Free tier
- Unlimited bandwidth
- Unlimited requests
- No account required (no sign-up, no API key, no DSN)
- Global multi-CDN edge (Cloudflare + Fastly + Bunny + Quantil)
- Auto-versioning via
@latest,@1.x, exact semver, or commit SHA - Native CORS, immutable caching, Brotli + gzip
Card / subscription required?
NO. No account exists — jsDelivr is a public good. Nothing to pay, nothing to log into.
Alternatives
- unpkg — same shape, single-CDN (Cloudflare only), occasional outages
- esm.sh — additionally rewrites CJS → ESM, more processing
- Skypack (deprecated 2024)
- Self-hosting on Cloudflare R2 (rejected — R2 costs money on egress)
Swap cost
Low — change the URL prefix. unpkg uses unpkg.com/@chirag127/...
with the same path tail. The oriz-kit consumers use a single helper
constant for the CDN base, so swapping is one-line.
Why this is our pick
The most reliable free npm CDN. Multi-CDN backbone means single-edge outages don’t take the family down. No account = no quota = no self-update task to track usage. Pairs with the family’s publish-to-npm flow without any extra config.
