### At CDN ### CDNs
Reference: https://github.com/mathjax/MathJax/wiki/CDN-Hosting-at-Google-Cloud-Storage CDN providers (cdnjs, rawgit) will pick up tagged releases automatically.
1. The GCS buckets are: `cdn.mathjax.org` for regular releases & `beta.mathjax.org` for beta releases
1. Create or update `mathjax/N.m-latest/` and update `mathjax/latest/` -- unless it's a patch release for an older version, then just update `mathjax/N.m-latest`.
1. When fonts change, you'll need to [fix mime-type headers](https://github.com/mathjax/MathJax/wiki/CDN-Hosting-at-Google-Cloud-Storage#mime-type-headers). If there were no updates, it's faster to copy the fonts from `latest` to `N.m-latest` [in the cloud](https://github.com/mathjax/MathJax/wiki/CDN-Hosting-at-Google-Cloud-Storage#copying).
1. If updated, check the custom headers of fonts (e.g., via curl).
1. Purge the cache: it seems CloudFlare picks up changes to GCS immediately. But to be sure, purge the changed files or the entire CDN via the CloudFlare Web Interface.
**Note.** We no longer provide our own CDN service, cf. https://www.mathjax.org/cdn-shutting-down/.
