I was looking at Leo XIII's encyclical on naturalism and Fɾҽҽmαsσɳɾყ, Humanum Genus on Vatican.va, and I noticed (via uBlock Origin plugin) it no longer uses content distribution networks (CDNs); all the content is 100% 1st party, Vatican.va (except GoogleTagManager.com…).
This is good. The site loads faster and is thus more secure.
Note: This only seems to apply to encyclicals pages. The rest of the site does load JavaScript and content from 3rd party CDNs.

  • I couldn't help but notice that Quo primum slid down the memory hole.

    I don't recall if it was on the old site or not.

    https://www.papalencyclicals.net/ seems more comprehensive.
