Static Sites

Static sites are apps that produce a folder of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript files at build time with no server process required to serve them. Jetpacked detects static output automatically and serves it from Cloudflare's CDN.

Static apps are always free forever and do not require a project plan.

What counts as static

Jetpacked treats your app as static when the detection engine determines no runtime process is needed to serve it. This includes:

Vite SPA builds (React, Vue, vanilla)
Astro with static output
VuePress
Plain HTML projects
Any framework configured for static export

Apps that need a running server (Next.js with SSR, AdonisJS, Express, etc.) are dynamic and need either your free dynamic project allowance or a paid project plan.

How static sites are served

Static files are uploaded to Cloudflare R2 and served through a Cloudflare Worker at the edge. This means your static site is fast everywhere, with no server to manage or worry about.

Unlimited static apps

You can deploy as many static apps as you want on a free account. There is no limit on the number of static projects.

Limitations

Static sites run no server-side code. This means:

No API routes
No server-side rendering
No database connections
No environment variables at runtime (build-time env vars are supported)

If your app needs any of these, it is a dynamic app and needs either your free dynamic project allowance or a paid project plan.

Custom domains

Custom domains for static sites work differently from dynamic apps — see Custom Domains for details.
