What Is Cloudflare Pages and Why Workers Is the New Path

Cloudflare Pages publishes pages to the Cloudflare edge network from one Git repository. Each push produces a new version, and the page is served from a location near the reader.

An important change to know

Workers now serves static assets and server-rendered pages. Cloudflare states that new projects should start on Workers, and that new feature work is directed at Workers. Pages remains supported.

What both paths give you

• HTTPS certificates and a global edge network with no extra setup.
• A preview for each branch, so changes can be checked before release.
• Version rollback when a new release breaks something.
• Links to Cloudflare storage and queue products.
