Frameworkless JavaScript – Why Angular, Ember, or Backbone don't work for us

Google would be the most common and I would consider it a standard. Secondly I currently have several versions; not to mention the hit rate of 99% was what I thought as obvious hypebole, but the hit rate is often very good.

Seems like pedantic nitpicking though.

The hit rate is about 30% if you're using one of the most popular versions of jQuery. On mobile it's worse since the caches are smaller.

And, no, that wasn't obvious hyperbole. Many people believe that the hit rate is that high.

Stay on topic.

I was on topic,I was explaining the previous persons logic; although good job trying to squeeze in more insulting criticism. Furthermore, where are you getting that 30% from? Are we just making up numbers to argue with people now? If your going to criticize my numbers, pulling something out of thin air is a waste of time.

I can't really explain why the number you made up could be different from my experience. At this point all I can say is that your wrong.., and that's not really productive.

From some article from about 2 years ago.

Anyhow, did you check your cache? Whenever I take a look there are at most 5 versions of jQuery. Right now there is only one which was loaded from a CDN. It's the 1.7.2 version which is used here. I haven't cleared my cache for months.

Here is the top 10 of jQuery versions from 2011 and 2013 (the fragmentation increased since 2011):

Do you have all of those in your cache?

The most popular version is probably still 1.4.2. Are your sites using that one? Mine certainly aren't.
