Good call.

This [1] is generated with Tinkerer and hosted by GitHub Pages [2], which
is backed by a CDN (Fastly); with HTTPS.

... Sphinx renders to HTML through Jinja2 templates.

For JS, cdnjs [3] is backed by CloudFlare [4].

CloudFlare has a pretty cool CDN offering that adds an X-Forwarded-For
header with the source IP.
