Today I was testing my site and I realized that one of the CDNs I was using was hanging. Not wanting my website to be at the mercy of more failure points than necessary, I brought the hosted jQuery and Bootstrap files in house.
The result was a surprise: good speed on Chrome but slow on Firefox.
Anyway, I found a nice resource on speeding up a web page with at lot of details that I hadn't learned before:

One interesting thing is that browsers have a limit for how many web requests they will make to one server at a time. It's possible that it was this that made the difference between page load times on Firefox and Chrome. It's a good argument for compiling all your CSS and JS together into one file each per page.
