    Running a CDN on your domain effectively defeats the purpose of CDN.

      No. Things being on your domain doesn’t mean that traffic hits your servers.

        It doesn’t, but it defeats the purpose of CDN, because your users still hit your domain instead of CDN one and cannot leverage the benefits of distributed caching. Browser cache is bound to a URL, you change one letter and it is invalidated.
