Cloudflare Pages is the deployment platform arm of Cloudflare, the internet infrastructure company that handles roughly 20% of all web traffic. Pages leverages Cloudflare's massive network of 300+ data centers in 100+ countries to serve your site from the edge location closest to each visitor. Originally launched for static JAMstack sites, Pages has evolved into a full-stack platform through deep integration with Cloudflare Workers (serverless functions), D1 (SQLite database), R2 (object storage), and KV (key-value store). The free tier is remarkably generous: unlimited bandwidth, 500 builds per month, unlimited sites, and automatic SSL — making it one of the best options for personal projects and static sites. Git-based deployments from GitHub or GitLab trigger automatic builds with instant rollbacks. Preview deployments let you test every pull request on a unique URL before merging. For developers building modern web applications with frameworks like Next.js, Astro, Remix, or SvelteKit, Cloudflare Pages offers near-zero cold start times and global distribution that traditional hosting simply cannot match. The trade-off is that it requires a modern development workflow — this is not a platform for traditional PHP or WordPress hosting.
Add a benchmark URL in admin and run the provider benchmark cron to display measured speed, security, and availability signals here.
Unlimited bandwidth, 500 builds/month, unlimited sites, and automatic SSL at zero cost — among the most generous free hosting available.
300+ data centers in 100+ countries deliver content from the closest location to each visitor, resulting in ultra-low latency worldwide.
Workers, D1, R2, and KV integration transforms a static site host into a full-stack platform with serverless compute and storage.
Every pull request gets a unique preview URL, making it easy to review changes before deploying to production.
One-click rollback to any previous deployment ensures you can quickly recover from problematic releases.
Requires Git-based workflow and modern framework knowledge — not suitable for beginners or traditional CMS users.
No cPanel, email hosting, FTP access, or PHP support — fundamentally different from traditional shared hosting.
Free tier builds timeout at 20 minutes and have 500/month limit, which can be restrictive for large monorepos.
Deep integration with Cloudflare Workers and D1 can create dependency on Cloudflare's proprietary edge runtime.
