I use Google quite a bit when conjuring up R projects, whether it be in a lazy pursuit of a PDF vignette or to find a package or function to fit a niche need. Inevitably, I’ll do something like [this](https:\/\/www.google.com\/#q=cran+shapefile) (yeah, I’m still on a mapping kick) and the first (and best) results will come back with `https:\/\/cran.r-project.org\/`-prefixed URLs. If all this works, what’s the problem? Well, the main CRAN site is, without mincing words, _slow_ much of the time. The switch to `https` on it (and it’s mostly-academic mirrors) has introduced noticeable delays. <\/p>\n

Now, these aren’t productivity-crushing delays, but (a) why wait if you don’t have to; and, (b) why not spread the load to a whole [server farm](http:\/\/cran.rstudio.com\/) dedicated to ensuring fast delivery of content? I was going to write a Chrome extension specifically for this, but I kinda figured this was a solved problem, and it is!<\/p>\n

From the plethora of options in the Chrome Store, I grabbed [Switcheroo Redirector](https:\/\/chrome.google.com\/webstore\/detail\/switcheroo-redirector\/cnmciclhnghalnpfhhleggldniplelbg?hl=en) because (a) it has a decent user base and rating; (b) it’s not super-complex to use; and, (c) the source is [on github](https:\/\/github.com\/ranjez\/Switcheroo) and closely matches what’s in the actual installed extension (some extensions are tricksy\/evil and you can even build your own with the source vs trust the Chrome Store one).<\/p>\n

So, go install it and come back. We’ll wait.<\/p>\n

…<\/p>\n

OK, you back? Good. Let’s continue. You should have a Switcheroo icon near your location bar. Select it and you should see a popup like this:<\/p>\n

\"Fullscreen_8_5_15__9_10_PM\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I’ve already made the entry, but you just need to tell the app to substitute all URL occurrences of `cran.r-project.org` with `cran.rstudio.com` when Chrome is trying to load a URL. <\/p>\n

Now, when you click one of those links in the above example, it will go (speedily!) to the RStudio CRAN mirror server farm.<\/p>\n

Once nice (to security freaks like me) feature is that if you have one of the Switcheroo links open in a new tab (i.e. not directly\/immediately visible to you) it will let you know that something is happening out of the ordinary:<\/p>\n

\"Redirect_Notice\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This is a tiny (and good) price to pay to know you’re not being whacked by a bad plugin.<\/p>\n

If you have another preference (or have suggestions for Safari or Firefox) please drop a note in the comments so others can benefit from your experience!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
