What percentage of the requests is handled by CDN?

I believe that only CNAMEs use the CDN for custom domains (naked domains do not) [0]. So that rules out a chunk but there will be lots of cache misses too. Maybe someone from GH can confirm.

github.io will still also hit the CDN. It's just custom naked domains that will miss.

Their docs mention ever 200 response code request is cached, so I'd say a majority of the requests?
