Limitations

  • 500 builds/month

    The free plan is capped at 500 CI/CD builds per month; exceeding this blocks further deployments until the next cycle.

  • 1 concurrent build

    Only one build can run at a time on the free plan, versus 5 concurrent on Pro; teams with frequent pushes will queue.

  • 20,000 files per site

    Free plan sites are limited to 20,000 files; paid plans allow up to 100,000 files per site.

  • 100 custom domains per project

    Each Pages project on the free plan supports up to 100 custom domains, which is generous for most use cases.

  • Not a branded domain

    The default subdomain is <project>.pages.dev — Cloudflare-branded, not your own domain; a custom domain must be configured separately.

  • Build timeout: 20 minutes

    All builds time out after 20 minutes regardless of plan, which can block large or slow build pipelines.

  • Soft cap of 100 projects

    Cloudflare enforces a soft account-level limit of 100 Pages projects to prevent abuse; increases require contacting support.
