eh it's a very cheap way to go around delivery speed problems - just know what the tradeoff are and you're golden.

using subdomains one can easily partition bulk traffic which needs caching from secure traffic that requires end to end encryption, and benefit from having a tenth of server hits

sure everyone can host his caches and be better off. but that cost money, and localizing traffic to reduce latency costs even more money. hard to beat free.

My entire comment was about refuting this.

You don't need to host your own caches to be better off, you'll be better off by simply not having cloudflare in front of your server (even for transatlantic pageloads!).
