Although MaxCDN is better than some, it's not NEARLY as simple as some might make it out to be because it, like most CDNs, is severely broken. Their own page proves that because they document how toot have to modify Wordpress in order to ariel around their bugs, how you'd have to modify Vbulletin, Joomla, Drupal, etc. A properly implemented CDN wouldn't have you modifying all of your scripts because it would follow the HTTP standard and therefore "just work". You never notice your ISPs forward CDN because it follows standards. A reverse CDN like MaxCDN would also work transparently if it followed standards. Because it doesn't, they provide instructions for modifying your site to work around the most obvious problems. The less obvious issues are up to you to figure out after you notice them.
