Friendly reminder that the CDN doesn't just protect the origin server from excessive load, it can also drastically improve end-user latency.

Sure.

But is the added complexity worth the whole thing? For a personal blog?

[chrisweekly]

I think you may be overestimating the complexity; fronting a blog with a CDN is trivial, even enabled by default on modern platforms.

[alanfranz]

That's possible. But a lot of people overestimate their traffic/load needs.

[SkyLinx]

Totally, that's a very important reason to use a CDN.
