I didn't want to hassle with migrating my WordPress blog, so now just deploy it to Github > Cloudflare Pages so it's served statically (fast + secure). It's free too, wrote a blog post on it a couple years back: https://gmays.com/how-to-host-wordpress-sites-free/

But these days any new site I build is on NextJS since coding agents make it a breeze.



Unfortunately, Cloudflare Pages are deprecated. While the existing pages will be supported for some time, for new projects the only option is Workers that is much more complicated to configure.


Hey, sorry this has been a confusing transition.

You can actually still create new Pages projects, but it is de-emphasized in the UI in favor of Workers.

We've done a lot of work to make static sites on Workers just as easy to configure as Pages was. Have you tried it lately? Would love to hear what aspects you feel are still more complicated than Pages.

Just to be clear, we will not break existing sites using Pages. We will either auto-migrate them to Workers once we have all the tools in place to do so, or we'll keep supporting Pages forever.


Nice to hear! I haven’t tried it since last summer. What I tried to do was to deploy Jekyll from GitHub to Pages, and the only option I see was to deploy to Workers, but I couldn't find the documentation for doing this on Workers. Maybe this was improved since last summer. I'll try again.
