Fast by default
Plain HTML and CSS are tiny and cache beautifully at the edge. There's no hydration and no bundle to ship.
It works 🎉
This is a very simple, framework-free static site — just HTML, CSS, and a sprinkle of JavaScript — that explains what Cloudflare Pages is and how a site like this one gets to the edge.
What is Cloudflare Pages?
Cloudflare Pages is a platform for building and hosting fast websites on Cloudflare's global edge network. You connect a Git repository, Cloudflare builds your site, and every push is deployed automatically — with preview URLs for each branch and pull request.
Because static assets are served from Cloudflare's network, pages load quickly no matter where your visitors are. This site is a living example: what you're reading was pushed to Git and deployed without a build step or a framework.
Why keep it this simple?
No framework
Nothing to learn but the web platform. JavaScript is used only for small progressive enhancements.
Global edge
Cloudflare serves the files from data centres close to your visitors, so first paint stays snappy.
Git-driven deploys
Push to your branch and the site updates. Preview deployments let you review changes before they go live.
