Hi!

Is it possible to replace/remove [code.jquery.com](http://code.jquery.com) from Ghost? Our project aims to have zero tracking and 3rd party websites in the background.

Thanks for the help.

If you’re using the default Casper theme, it requires jQuery for some of the theme functionality.

That said, you should be able to modify the theme yourself to remove the dependency on [code.jquery.com](http://code.jquery.com) specifically. What you’ll need to do is download the Casper theme from your blog (see [docs](https://ghost.org/faq/design-settings/#download-a-theme)), then download the jquery code from [code.jquery.com](http://code.jquery.com) (specifically [https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.4.1.min.js](https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.4.1.min.js)). After downloading the jquery code, save it to your theme’s assets/built folder as `jquery.js` and update this line in `default.hbs` ([Casper/default.hbs at main · TryGhost/Casper · GitHub](https://github.com/TryGhost/Casper/blob/master/default.hbs#L82-L86)) to use the following snippet:

```auto
<script src="{{asset "built/jquery.js"}}"></script>

```

Once you’ve done that, re-upload your theme zip file and it should no longer be requesting files from [code.jquery.com](http://code.jquery.com)
