Solution

Replace with subdomain

Temporarily found two subdomains that can be used:

  • fastly.jsdelivr.net
  • gcore.jsdelivr.net

You can try it yourself and see which one is faster

Change the cdn manufacturer

If you are in a hurry, change a CDN manufacturer
Some netizens suggested to use cdnjs or unpkg, or bootcdn

For example: https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/ is replaced by https://unpkg.com/ for emergency, only npm part

Alternative cdn services:

Build your own cdn

Generally speaking, cdn is relatively fast. If your server traffic is OK, you can also deploy static resources on your own server, so that the service is relatively stable, and you don’t need to worry about service problems, but the cost may be a little high. Here we still recommend the Alibaba Cloud server.
