bootstrap-cdn-rails
Easily add support for BootstrapCDN hosted assets to your Rails 3 or 4 project.
Benefits
- Offloads loading of the Bootstrap, Font Awesome and Bootswatch assets from your host, allowing your browser to execute more HTTP requests in parallel - resulting in faster overall page loads.
- Leverages the cached copy on a client so your page will load faster if a user already has visited a site using a CDN hosted copy of Bootstrap, Font Awesome or Bootswatch.
Features
- Support for the latest versions of Font Awesome, Bootstrap and Bootswatch
