Cloudflare Pages review (2026): is the free plan enough?
Git-based hosting for static sites and full-stack apps
Black Friday: is there a Cloudflare Pages sale?
Our verdict
Second of our top three web hosts
For: Anyone who wants to pay nothing for a static site
Cloudflare Pages builds a site from a GitHub or GitLab repository, or a direct upload, and serves it from Cloudflare's network. The free plan has unlimited static requests and bandwidth, 500 builds a month and up to 100 projects, and server-side Functions are free up to 100,000 requests a day; beyond that Workers Paid is $5 a month. It is second because it suits static sites and front-end apps you build from code, not a WordPress site: builds run one at a time with a 20-minute timeout, one file can be 25 MiB at most, and Cloudflare's own docs now recommend starting new projects on Workers instead.

Best for static sites with free bandwidth
Cloudflare Pages serves static sites with free, unlimited bandwidth on the free plan. But Cloudflare's own docs recommend starting new projects on Workers, the free plan allows 500 builds a month, and dynamic code is billed through a Workers plan.
Who Cloudflare Pages is for
- Fits if you run static sites or front-end apps and want no bandwidth bill
- Works for people already using Cloudflare DNS and Workers
Who Cloudflare Pages is not for
- Skip it if you want a dynamic app on the free allowance, since Functions run on Workers billing
- Tight if you push often: 500 builds a month, one at a time, with a 20-minute build limit
- Not for you if a single file is over 25 MiB
- Watch out: Cloudflare recommends Workers for new projects, so Pages may not be where the work goes
Why Cloudflare Pages gets a 2.8
Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.
- AValue for moneyFree with no bandwidth charge for static requests, and the paid add-on is $5 a month, under the category's cheaper quarter of $5.28.
- BFree plan and trial500 builds a month, 100 projects and unlimited preview deployments, one build at a time. One person can live on it; Functions are capped at 100,000 requests a day.
- CFeaturesGit and upload deploys, previews, Functions, rollbacks and a REST API. The gaps: docs point new projects to Workers, assets are capped at 25 MiB and dynamic apps aren't covered by the free allowance.
- CEase of useNo store rating on record. You connect a repo, set a build command and manage domains, so there's setup work.
- BPlatforms and integrationsWeb only, but with GitHub, GitLab, Workers KV, Durable Objects, R2 and a REST API.

Keep Cloudflare Pages, or make your own?
Your call
Cloudflare Pages sits between: not beyond making, and not a weekend's work either.
What you would give up is listed below. Whether that is worth the price is your call. It costs $60 a year.
What you could make
- It runs in a browser, which is where something home-made would run too.
What you could not
- Speed tests run from real browsers on a schedule.
- It plugs into other products, GitHub, GitLab and Workers KV among them, and has an API.
What this rests on. Cloudflare Pages’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
What is Cloudflare Pages?
Cloudflare Pages builds and deploys sites from a Git repository or by direct upload, serving them from Cloudflare's network.
