This is my first writing here. To start it off, let me share a little about my recent experience using Cloudflare Pages.

The website that you are currently seeing is being hosted using Cloudflare Pages. Prior to this, I was using Github Pages. However, since my student PRO plan expired last week and Github only supports Github Pages for public repositories, my personal page went down. (i used a private repo as i found my past commits and code non-nice)

I searched for an alternative and found Cloudflare Pages. Cloudflare makes it really easy to migrate over to use Cloudflare Pages. All you have to do is to connect Cloudflare to your Github account and allow access to the repo that you want to deploy. more info here.

After granting access to the repository, simply import the repository and deploy from the main branch.

Just like that, in less than 5 minutes, my site is up and running again, this time on different domain pages.dev.

I also tried making changes to see whether the auto-deployments are working properly. After pushing changes to the main branch, I could see that Cloudflare Pages quickly made the deployment changes within seconds. Pretty neat!

Conclusion: If you don't have a PRO github plan and want to keep your repo private, cloudflare pages is a great alternative.
