Max CDN Problems

Hi guys,

Just wondering if anyone else is seeing problems with Max CDN at the moment?

I've just started submitting applications for jobs and went to tweak my portfolio site and noticed it was all over the place and, basically, an absolute mess. Not ideal....

Checking the console I saw that I was getting error messages for everything trying to load from Max CDN - jQuery, Bootstrap, Fontawesome etc.

I tried going to the Max CDN site but keep getting a "Site Can't Be Reached" error message.

I've since managed to download and install all locally, except Fontawesome which is giving the same error as Max CDN.

I haven't encountered this before but have read others saying that this type of thing is a pitfall of using CDN's. Is this likely to happen regularly? And am I better off installing actual source files in future projects?

Cheers Don
