“tl;dr; I see little benefit in using a CDN at this point.” (peterbe.com)

The main benefit of a CDN is global acceleration via different networks. If you are just thinking about servicing one region a CDN usually won't matter.


That's missing the point. The HTML document comes from a regular origin server, the rest of the stuff needs to be downloaded. That's a then down to a choice: Do you use a CDN or the existing HTTP/2 connection.
