Lab: Remove Query String from Static Resource URL
Video Runtime: 14:09
If a stylesheet or script is not local to the website, then we do not want to convert or apply a version number to it. Right? The file for that asset does not reside on our website’s web server. Nope, it’s somewhere else.
Examples of this are:
- Font Awesome
- Google Fonts
- Bootstrap
- Zurb’s Foundation
As part of our checks, we want to verify if the asset’s URL is local to our web server. How do we do that? Think about what would make a URL local.
