🚨 Since Mar 14 ~2pm EST: CDN Unpkg Major Outage may affect your Bubble app

That’s untrue. If that was true more apps (including mine) would be experiencing the same problems, which is not the case.

The most likely issue is the apps affected are using plugins that depend on libraries stored in the CDN. Either wait it out for the CDN to get restored, contact plugin authors to add/write those libraries into the plugins or remove the plugin from your app.

An issue like this does not affect just Bubble apps but any app that relies on the CDN. The fix is simple (in principle) but app/plugin developers have to deploy the fixes.

No point blaming Bubble since it really has nothing to do with them.

Yeah, it’s frustrating no doubt, but this is a risk you choose to take when using third party plugins, which is why it’s always wise to do things natively where possible.

And, plugin authors can (and are encouraged to) upload packages directly to Bubble, without using unpkg.

Is there a way to find out which plugin is using this? Or do we have to remove them one by one to see?

OK then we’re back to communication. Bubble could explain exactly that and give tips on how to find out which plugins it affects. But Bubble just keeps quiet and says for 12 hours that the problem is fixed

for me my apps and now loading lickety split . @georgecollier thanks for pointing out to us unwashed this is not a bubble but a plugin issue. At least people are now informed and can look to glean which plugins use a CDN which is impacting their apps performance.

An official response no? The post marked as a solution points it out too yes?

Lottiefiles is one of the plugins that I think many of us is using:

Can bubble disable all usage of https://unpkg.com/ until its up and running again? Then our apps should atleast be up and running

Correcting myself, Lottiefiles seems to be working when using the the latest release of their plugin - 1.2.1. So some unpkg urls are responding - like this one:
https://unpkg.com/@lottiefiles/lottie-player@2.0.4/dist/lottie-player.js

If a page does not use a plugin using UNPKG, is the page supposed the load normally?

Ive got apps which leverage plugs using UNPKG and one that does not. The latter loads as you would expect.

Yes with major affects to our app this seems like a problem that needs a better solution.
I’m not sure whether any plugins make their CDN /dependencies readily visible do they??
And if so, what’s the solution to easily disable apps that have such dependencies so the site can be made operational??

No, that’s not a good communication. They say it’s third party, but a CDN almost always is. It doesn’t say that this only affects plugins. How am I supposed to know that Bubble doesn’t use this CDN?

Ok, so on my side, I was able to identify 2 plugins from Zerocode that were using UNPKG (multi files uploader and Video player). Unfortunately, 2 important plugins for me…

Wanted to give you guys an update that worked for me for the time being. I uninstalled a plugin that was called page loader, which was using lottiefiles and now my shit is back and faster than ever boys.

nope. if the plugin is installed at all on your app. every page will be fucked. Have to remove the app entirely and redeploy

What do you mean “remove app and redeploy”

remove any plugins that use unpkg and redploy your app live

This isn’t a bubble issue, its a a plugin developers. The need to update the cdn they use. Once i removed an app that used unpkg, my shit was back at full speed.

shoutout to whomever said some shit about lottiefiles, i was sitting around like a cuck waiting for bubble to fix it, when in reality it’s not even a bubble issue.

No, I did test. Pages that dont contain the plugins affected work normally. So on some pages where the plugins I identified using UNPKG were not necessary, I removed them, and the pages load normally
