Overview

Cloudflare Pages is a deployment platform for full-stack web applications, built on Cloudflare’s global network. It started as a static site host but has evolved into a full-stack platform by integrating with Cloudflare Workers for server-side rendering and API routes.

Pages connects to your Git repository and automatically builds and deploys your site on every push. Preview deployments are created for every pull request, giving your team a way to review changes before they go live. All deployments are served from Cloudflare’s 300+ edge locations worldwide.

The platform provides unlimited bandwidth on the free tier, free SSL certificates, and built-in DDoS protection. Its deep integration with Cloudflare’s ecosystem (Workers, KV, D1, R2) makes it an excellent choice for building full-stack applications on the edge.

When to Use

Choose Cloudflare Pages when you want edge-first deployment with excellent free tier pricing. It is ideal for static sites, JAMstack applications, and full-stack apps that leverage Cloudflare’s ecosystem.
