> you want to serve your API from the same origin as your static files (HTML, CSS, JS, etc.)

What is the benefit or purpose of doing this?

[icedchai]

You don't have CORS configuration to worry about. It simplifies development and deployment.

[tomjakubowski]

You don't need to set up CORS to load assets on a page from a CDN's origin. Cross-origin taint only matters when trying to read asset data from a script.

I think we may be talking past each other and one of us is misunderstanding OP.

[icedchai]

Yes, but you need it if your API isn't on the same origin as your static assets.
