Cloudflare Pages Tutorial - Deploy Your Static Site in ~90 Seconds

[@ktop4u]

How was the page formatted and loaded? Did you have that already in GitHub? Are there templates one can use? To quickly whip up pages and deploy with some minor editing?

[@Sean4Help]

Cool. I'll give it a run and see how it is. Been wanting to look at this but work's been so busy until lately so I can put time to this now. Thank you for showing this.

[@JamesQQuick]

Definitely worth taking a look. Thanks for watching :)

Cloudflare doesnt work well with next/image gives build errors. What should I do?

[@santra528]

This looks cool. Will give it a try for sure

[@JamesQQuick]

Hope you enjoy it!

[@idukpayealex]

i was getting errors but I gave it multiple tries and it eventually worked👍

[@Lightologyy]

[@nathaneckel7105]

Same thing. After another minute it rendered properly.

Hello James, I have a generic question. I have made a website which has a news section which needs to be updated weekly by a client. Would I create a backend with an Admin Login that leads to an Admin page which allows them to create 'news cards' that update the on the news section of the web page. Or I have to somehow attach my website to a CMS or re-create my website through a CMS , I'm really not sure what is generally done in this case? Thank you.

Atleast with Wordpress you can make posts via email, API, XML etc. Might be a solution ?

[@mrgyani]

What if I want to do plain Html, JS, css static websites?

[@mohammedaslam2912]

I like it. Can we deploy sveltekit with serverless functions with pages too?

[@JamesQQuick]

I'm not 100% sure on that unfortunately

[@Viralplace]

I can't deploy my project... it says "Unable to authenticate, your authentication token seems to be invalid." why?

[@paulbrown6792]

Ive got something weird going on.. Ive connected github to cloudflare before.. in the same account, but now ive created a new repo, when i go to create a new project, the new repo is not displayed and if I then click to connect on github in the link they give you to click if the repo is not shown, when I land in github, it takes me to a 404 page? any ideas anyone?

[@Beyblade0battles]

im probably very late and also suggesting something really obvious, but is there any chance that your github repo is set to private?

[@paulbrown6792]

@@Beyblade0battles Thanks for the reply , I sorted it in the end. :)

[@theacid1]

I don't get it. Isn't this a free way to host a static website (with all extra Cloudflare benefits like CDN, DDOS protection, etc.)? The free plan even offers 500 Builds (deployments?) per month. For example, a freelancer could theoretically host unlimited sites in his account and work on projects at the same time. Am I missing a point or is this free hosting???

[@JamesQQuick]

I mean yeah… what are you confused about exactly?

[@theacid1]

@@JamesQQuick I normally thought that hosting costs at least 4$ or more a month. (At least that's the prices I'm used to) Additionally, I was wondering that the free plan could actually be used for a business use case. I can imagine that other providers would charge hundreds of dollars to host multiple static websites.

[@JamesQQuick]

@@theacid1 Depends on what kind of hosting you're looking for. There are lots of good FREE options for hosting static websites including Cloudflare. If you're paying to host a static site, you should definitely check out Cloudflare.

Do you have a full guide how to deploy a django project to cloudfare, with database and storages for media files included?(preferably using version control to deploy such as github like in this video) I have a running website on digitalocean, but I prefer company that are loyal to freedom of speech.

[@brockcaldwell33]

I'm not 100% positive, but I believe CloudFlare pages only hosts frontend code (e.g.: CSS, HTML, JavaScript). Django being a Python framework wouldn't be possible to host here.

[@TeaMHackeRPiratE]

how to deploy Ghost themes to cloudflare ? can you make a tutorial ?

[@anaknijihoz]

[@yahyeabdirashid9716]

[@JamesQQuick]

So glad to hear it :)

[@asiessingh23]

Will Nextjs ISR work with cloudflare pages

[@MustafaSheikh]

cdn and cache by default?

[@cryptus_neoxys]

Noice Gonna try our Cloudfare ☁️☁️☁️

[@JamesQQuick]

Yaaaaa!!!

[@Kris_Zhang]

Hi, would this work if the repo is private? It's because my website is for a business and I don't want the source code to be leaked. Thanks. (I mean as long as no one finds my profile it's good?)

[@Mostafaabobakr7]

Yes

[@cameronthompson1275]

Awesome!

[@yomajo]

Can blog be considered static?

[@donmiko345]

If you don't need user comments on your posts, then yes.

[@yomajo]

@@donmiko345 Thanks you. Im python dev (+ some flask web dev experience) without js frameworks experience. Have wordpress blog, which I plan on converting to static site at some point. Any recommended stack? Would like to have local CMS, not to write posts in vscode markdown, which could be creativity limiting environment.

[@MaxProgramming]

Can this beat Netlify?

[@JamesQQuick]

I don’t formal stats but it was fast lol

[@MaxProgramming]

@@JamesQQuick Oh okay. The best part is the subdomain

[@santra528]

I think in terms of speed yes it can probably beat Netlify. I love Netlify so much some people say only downside of Netlify is speed

[@29namankumar29]

Thank U

[@IkraamDev]

It looks like the deployed website loads faster than Netlify and AWS Amplify.

[@JamesQQuick]

It was pretty fast not gonna lie lol I didn’t do any formal bench marks tho

[@IkraamDev]

@@JamesQQuick I just went to youtube-for-developers.pages.dev and it loads faster than my Netlify website.

[@codersaurabh]

Nice

[@alii4334]

It is much cheaper than Vercel!

[@29namankumar29]

First too! Yay

[@JamesQQuick]

Yay! :)

[@29namankumar29]

[@gonzalooviedo5435]

Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn, another video that does not explain how to mix your domain with the .dev cloudflare page, JESUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2nd

[@artiefischel2579]

I gave a thumbs up solely because your repo has a master branch, not a snowflake main branch .
