: Jquery lie about size of download When you go to jquery.com you see on top right "Grab the latest version! Choose your compression level:" its saying 32Kb for Production (compressed) version in

@Jessie594

I would suggest reading why jQuery is actually a great framework to use. But you can be stubborn and write pure javascript the long hard way the rest of your life. Why not download the uncompressed version of jQuery and minify it yourself?

The information they are providing is right because the gzipping happens on the server that gives the file.

The server you are using has to be configured to allow gzipped version of javascript files.
The version from Google CDN is already gzipped.
