Custom version of jQuery v1.12.4?

I thought the code was always different from external versions of jQuery. You can fall into pitfalls when plugins and themes are developed for a specific version of the bundled jQuery and you’re removing that version, and enquing your own. Why are you enqueing your own? I’ve not come across a need to override the WordPress jQuery bundle.

Speed? Reducing server load? Or is the benefit of (once) loading jquery.js from a CDN marginal?

I’ve also been looking into offloading wp-include js files onto a CDN, the benefits all depends on your site load. If you plan on having thousands of users per X then offloading to a CDN is probably your best bet.

I’m working a large multisite and offloading wp-content to a CDN is on my task list.

I found information here; https://colorlib.com/wp/load-wordpress-jquery-from-google-library/

In the end it seems like wp is hosting a custom version.

https://cdnjs.com/libraries/jquery-migrate/1.4.1
https://cdnjs.com/libraries/jquery.hoverintent/1.8.1
https://cdnjs.com/libraries/jquery-color
https://cdnjs.com/libraries/underscore.js/1.8.3

Are some that i found that could be offloaded.
On my side, i might just offload wp-includes fully to a CDN and call it a day.

Just sync the directory to the CDN and enqueue the scripts with a proper path, that should solve all my issues.

Ideally i’d love to use a “free” service since it would lower our cost, and in most scenarios Google/Cloudflare is wide spread so someone having 1.12.4-wp in cache is more likely.
