Canvas Builder + Cloudflare Pages

Cloudflare Pages offers the fastest global hosting for Canvas Builder's static HTML: free, unlimited bandwidth, and deployed to Cloudflare's 300+ edge locations worldwide. It's the best choice when raw performance and zero cost matter most.

Use cases

  • Free unlimited bandwidth static hosting
  • Sub-50ms TTFB globally via Cloudflare CDN
  • Git-push deployments from GitHub or GitLab
  • Preview deployments for every branch
  • High-traffic marketing pages with zero hosting cost

How it works

  1. Connect your Git repository

    Create a Cloudflare Pages project and connect your GitHub or GitLab repository containing your Canvas Builder HTML. Cloudflare detects the static files automatically, no build configuration needed.

  2. Deploy automatically

    Every push to your production branch triggers an automatic deploy. Cloudflare distributes your site to 300+ edge locations globally within 30 seconds. No cache invalidation needed.

  3. Add serverless functions (optional)

    Cloudflare Workers can handle form submissions, API calls, and dynamic functionality at the edge. Add a /functions/ directory with JavaScript files for server-side logic without a traditional backend.

  4. Configure your custom domain

    Add your domain and Cloudflare provisions an SSL certificate automatically. DNS resolution happens at the edge for minimal latency. Your Canvas Builder site loads fast everywhere.
