The use of a CDN may improve load times and lower the cost of bandwidth. Could you explain me the benefit of using of a local file ?

Primarly data protection reasons. There was a law case in Germany lately where the court has forbidden the usage of the Google Webfont CDN.

With highlightjs version 11.7 there is no need anymore to use CDN.
