# Optionally disable jsdelivr.net

 * I very much appreciate the utility provided by Extended Search, but while attempting
   to clean up external calls to simplify GDPR compliance, minimize privacy leaks,
   and reduce external serial dependencies, I found that the plugin calls a script
   and corresponding CSS from jsdelivr.net, which creates an external call on execution.
   
   I understand that cdn.jsdelivr.net is generally intended to improve load performance,
   but myself, I’d very much prefer to privilege privacy over performance, at least
   as an option. Since select2min.js/.css is manually installable and is only 70.9kB
   and 15kB respectively, would it be too much of a hassle to add an option to not
   use the CDN and load select2min from local store, albeit with the caveat that
   updates may be less frequent and performance may be impacted?Thanks!

 * Hi,
   This was added to improve the backend performance. The site should use a 
   cached version from the browser if it is already requested before by the same
   browser. But your suggestion makes sense and I will change that in the next release.
 * For now, you can patch that if you need help, please let me know. It is located
   here [https://github.com/5um17/wp-extended-search/blob/master/includes/admin/class-wpes-admin.php#L151](https://github.com/5um17/wp-extended-search/blob/master/includes/admin/class-wpes-admin.php#L151)
 * Thanks
