Webflow is a powerful website builder that provides an intuitive interface for designing and developing websites. While Webflow does offer built-in hosting and CDN services to enhance the performance of websites built on its platform, it does not currently allow users to host jQuery on its own CDN or deploy it from an alternative location.

However, this limitation should not be a major concern for users looking to improve page speed. Here's why:

Integration with Webflow: Webflow offers a seamless integration with jQuery. When using the Webflow Designer or Editor, jQuery can be used out of the box without the need for users to manually host or deploy it. This ensures compatibility and smooth functioning.
Automatic optimization: Webflow automatically optimizes and minifies the CSS and JavaScript files used on a website, including jQuery. This helps improve page speed by reducing file sizes and minimizing the number of requests made to the server.
Content Delivery Network (CDN): Webflow leverages a global CDN to deliver websites to visitors efficiently. This CDN ensures that all the necessary files, including jQuery, are served from the nearest server location to the user's location. This reduces latency and further enhances page speed.

To summarize, while Webflow does not offer the option to host jQuery on its own CDN or deploy it from a different location, its built-in optimization features and global CDN ensure that websites built on Webflow perform well in terms of page speed.
