Not sure - the owners of the static tool should respond, maybe? the
CDNJS one is certainly faster than /static was (no NFS dependency).

Should be taken up with cdnjs upstream
(https://github.com/cdnjs/cdnjs). I did try to mirror Google's Font
directory (https://github.com/google/fonts/) but that was not easy
enough (plus would need a viewer as well), so I gave up.
https://github.com/alfredxing/brick is a possible alternative but
upstream is just one person and they haven't been active lately. So if
you want fast fonts similar to this, either making an open source easy
to mirror version of google font directory or helping brick might be
the best bet :)
