To ensure you implemented MaxCDN correctly, you can view the source code of any page to confirm that the CDN domain is being used for static assets instead of your origin domain. You can also use tools like pingdom, gtmetrix, webpagetest that can give you more detailed reports on your CDN implementation status.
The free version of the CDN For Joomla! plugin does NOT support HTTPS. If you need HTTPS support, you will need to buy the paid version from nonumber.nl.
