Cloudflare Pages

Unlimited bandwidth is the headline — and it is real

Cloudflare Pages' free plan includes unlimited requests and unlimited bandwidth, with commercial use permitted. For a content-heavy or traffic-spiky site, this removes the single scariest variable of static hosting: the surprise bandwidth bill. The throttles that remain — build minutes, concurrent builds, custom domains per project — are mild by comparison.

Practical implications

• The free plan is genuinely production-grade for static and edge-rendered sites; you will likely never pay for bandwidth.
• Full-stack features (SSR, APIs) run through Cloudflare Workers, which has its own request quotas — the "unlimited" applies to static asset serving, not Worker invocations.
• Tooling is improving fast but historically lagged Vercel's polish for some frameworks; check adapter support for your stack.

When to choose it

Choose Cloudflare Pages when bandwidth predictability matters and you are comfortable in the Cloudflare ecosystem (Workers, KV, R2, D1). It is the strongest free commercial tier of the three major frontend hosts.
