Wait, how is serving your content through Github's servers using your own certificate any more secure than letting GitHub or CloudFlare provide the cert?

It's arguably more secure than letting cloudflare do it (adding a new party doesn't make the chain more secure) but it doesn't have to be more secure than using githubs cert. It's just that you can't use githubs cert with your own custom domain.
