UNPKG: The CDN for everything on npm
summary
Unpkg is a reverse‑proxy CDN that serves package tarball contents directly from npm with zero config, hosting UMD bundles and exposing files by path. It runs on Cloudflare and serves massive scale—2.9 billion requests in 30 days and 36 TB of traffic—and integrates with SystemJS, script type=module, and a Babel transform that converts bare imports to unpkg URLs so ES modules (demo: d3) load from the network, producing many requests but working end to end.
