Cloudflare Pages
JAMstack hosting with global CDN, unlimited bandwidth, and Cloudflare Workers integration.
Best for developers who want unlimited bandwidth and tight Workers integration on a global CDN.
Use Cases
Free Tier
Unlimited bandwidth, 500 builds/month, 100 custom domains, SSL
How to Maximize the Free Tier
With unlimited bandwidth, Cloudflare Pages is the most forgiving free tier for traffic spikes — don't worry about overage bills. The real constraint is 500 builds/month: batch your changes and deploy in groups rather than pushing on every commit. Use Workers for serverless logic (100k requests/day free) instead of Pages Functions to keep build count low. Configure custom domains for all 100 sites — great for client projects.
Getting Started
Sign up → connect Git repo → set build command and output dir → deploy → add custom domain in Cloudflare dashboard → write Workers in /functions directory for serverless logic.
Pros
- Bandwidth: Unlimited bandwidth on the free tier — no surprise overage bills unlike Vercel or Netlify
- Workers integration: Tight integration with Cloudflare Workers enables serverless logic at the edge
- Custom domains: 100 custom domains per account on the free plan — great for agencies and multi-site setups
Cons
- Build cap: 500 builds/month can run out with frequent CI/CD deploys and preview branches active
- Build speed: Build performance on the free tier can be slower compared to Vercel's infrastructure
- No auth or DB: No built-in authentication or database — you'll need Workers KV, D1, or external services
