The [file](https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1/jquery.js) to which the Google [CDN](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Content_delivery_network) points to is [no longer updated and will stay locked at version `1.11.1` in order to prevent inadvertent web breakage](http://blog.jquery.com/2014/07/03/dont-use-jquery-latest-js/). In general, version updating should be an intentional decision! You shouldn't include a URL that will always point to the latest version, as that version: * may not be compatible with the existing plugins/code on the site * will have a very short cache time compare to the specific version, which means that users won't get the benefits of long-term caching ### Why is the Google Analytics code at the bottom? Google recommends it be placed in the ``. The main advantage of placing it in the `` is that you will track the user's `pageview` even if they leave the page before it has been fully loaded. However, having the code at the bottom of the page [helps improve performance](https://stevesouders.com/efws/inline-scripts-bottom.php). ### How can I integrate [Bootstrap](http://getbootstrap.com/) with HTML5 Boilerplate? One simple way is to use [Initializr](http://www.initializr.com/) and create a custom build that includes both HTML5 Boilerplate and [Bootstrap](http://getbootstrap.com/). Read more about how [HTML5 Boilerplate and Bootstrap complement each other](https://www.quora.com/Is-Bootstrap-a-complement-or-an-alternative-to-HTML5-Boilerplate-or-viceversa/answer/Nicolas-Gallagher). ### Do I need to upgrade my site each time a new version of HTML5 Boilerplate is released? No, same as you don't normally replace the foundation of a house once it was built. However, there is nothing stopping you from trying to work in the latest changes, but you'll have to assess the costs/benefits of doing so. ### Where can I get help with support questions? Please ask for help on [StackOverflow](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/html5boilerplate).
