I am not really sure if its even possible, but is there some kind of Open-Source Self-Hosted CDN software? I'm new to this so please don't bully me on the comments.

Yes, you can run for example Nginx or Varnish or Caddy web server software to serve static content like images and java script files. Here an example.

Apache HTTP Server with load_balancing modules can work like it too.

There is also HAProxy.
