What is the difference between "using bootstrap CDN" and "installing the bootstrap-framework"?

Load time, when using a cdn instead of a file in your system, there is a high chance that the user visiting your site already visitied a website that used the same bootstrap cdn so the user dosent need to download the framework again thos saving load time resulting in a faster load speed.
I pesonally use the minified cdn framework and if i need to make changes or ad new features i create my own css.
