GitHub Pages Alternatives: Netlify, Cloudflare Pages, and Vercel

GitHub Pages publishes static sites from a repository workflow. Keep it on the shortlist for documentation and project pages. Look elsewhere when the site needs a server, or when uploading a built folder would be easier than maintaining a repository.

Option Why consider it Watch for
Netlify Manual folder uploads or Git builds Upload the built output, not an unbuilt source tree
Cloudflare Pages Static deployments with optional Functions Server code must fit its runtime
Vercel Deploying a supported web framework Framework configuration and function limits

See the Netlify upload guide and Cloudflare Pages guide. Our GitHub Pages guide covers the repository route.

A static site’s files are sent to the visitor’s browser. Never put API secrets in JavaScript or assume an unlisted URL makes a site private.
