jQuery library from Google CDN 800 ms to load

I don't know whether to use the Google CDN or host local the jQuery library.

After generating a report from pingdomtools (http://tools.pingdom.com/fpt/#!/MQVMRzfaf/tandregulering.info) i notice it takes quite a long time to fetch it.

See screenshot: http://cl.ly/image/1C073q0F3s1G

What can I do to bring down the load time of the jQuery library?

Thanks in advance

In general it should load faster from the Google CDN than from your own server since a lot of sites use the CDN and a lot of people have it cached in their browser.

BTW: Why don't you test it from your local machine, using the developer tools that ship with Safari, Chrome, Firefox or IE?

edit: Plus one for Kevin B's comment: If you don't specify the protocol (just leave https out, it chooses http automatically)

<script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.0.0/jquery.min.js"></script>
