Not everyone trusts Google that much, because this method does give Google info on every visitor to your site (referrer, IP, etc) to the extent they pull the library. I addressed this at http://www.johnon.com/647/google-ajax-api.html and got some responses from Ben Lisbakken of Google.

As for speed and reliability, the comments in the article you link to actually demonstrate it is NOT yet a good idea to rely on Google's CDN (see recent comments at http://encosia.com/2008/12/10/3-reasons-why-you-should-let-google-host-jquery-for-you/)

Interesting, but first I'll have to try and see if it's compatible with WP-Minify, which compacts my JS (and CSS).

I really want better YSlow scores (and faster loading of course) so am going to try hosting my JS at Google http://bit.ly/1Fkgv

Thanks so much for the kind words about my plugin. I'm always glad to hear when people find them useful.

Well, yes, everybody trusts Google's CDN because it serves up (last I checked) something like 17% of all the internet's web traffic. That's a fair amount of traffic and I sort of expect them to get it right because of that.

Just installed it and saw google's api url. My pages are quite fast anyway but never hurts to optimise further. Thanks again Joost!

We've used the plugin for a while now. Works fine. It would be even better if it moved the Google script request to the bottom of the page so not to speed up page load times even further.

I checked the source page after I installed, but I didn't clear the cache.

But, I can see it load from Google Content Library after I cleared the browser's cache.

From Page Source

Thanks.

I installed the plugin, how do I verify that jQuery is run from Google content network?
