Which should you pick?
Choose GitHub Pages if this fits: best free hosting for project docs and developer sites. GitHub Pages is the zero-cost, zero-ceremony way to put a static site next to its source code. It does one thing, has done it reliably since 2008, and does nothing else; treat it as free infrastructure, not a platform.
Choose Cloudflare if this fits: best free static hosting on the internet. Nobody can compete with free, unlimited static hosting on one of the fastest networks on earth. Cloudflare Pages and Workers are the default answer for static sites and an aggressive bargain for dynamic ones, if you can live with the non-Node runtime.
Overall, our scores favor Cloudflare (8.9 vs 8.0) - but the right choice depends on which trade-offs matter to you. Read the full GitHub Pages review and Cloudflare review.
