The issue would lie with the site's CORS policy, no change to the CDN can work around that. And it's possible the author is not permitted to or does not wish to alter the CORS policy.

Building something in-house comes with its own sets of pros and cons, which can be compared against the pros and cons of taking a new dependency. The balance and the "correct" decision will vary by team/project/org.
