Troubleshooting
Common Issues
CORS Errors: Ensure your API endpoint allows requests from your domain
CDN Version Delays: Sometimes the @latest tag on jsDelivr CDN takes time to propagate to all edge servers and may not deliver the newest version immediately. If you need the latest features or fixes, specify the exact version number instead of using @latest:
<!-- Instead of @latest -->
