Front-End Deployment Insights: Experiences and Metric Evaluations of Leading Cloud Platforms

Pages website deployment refers to publishing static websites or static content on the internet, making it accessible and browsable. Most platforms currently support or are evolving to support serverless deployment of dynamic websites. To help developers select high-quality free website deployment services, this article comprehensively tests and evaluates leading global modern front-end deployment platforms from the perspectives of both experience and metrics. The services examined include Vercel, Cloudflare Pages, GitHub Pages, and the newly discovered Tencent Cloud EdgeOne Pages. Measurement criteria include global access latency, Google Lighthouse metrics, and the smoothness of the deployment process. It's worth noting that while AWS Pages and Netlify are also popular, they are not included in this evaluation due to their relatively complex registration and verification processes (which require credit card binding and anti-fraud identity verification). We hope this experience sharing will provide valuable references to help select the most suitable free website deployment service. Evaluation Scenario Static websites are widely used for blogs, company homepages, documentation, and showcase pages.

Advantages Comprehensive CDN: Cloudflare’s powerful CDN ensures fast global access speeds for deployed websites. Detailed Tutorials: The official website provides very detailed tutorials, including text and GIFs, making it very beginner-friendly. Convenient Extensions and Integrations: Paid features include team collaboration and high concurrency support, allowing developers to seamlessly migrate to Workers. Rich plugins are available for mainstream CMSs, enhancing automated deployment processes. Disadvantages High Latency in Asia: Cloudflare has high latency in China and surrounding regions, with tests showing requests in China are routed back to the US. Restricted Free Plan: The free version doesn't support concurrent builds (no team collaboration) and only offers 500 build opportunities per month. Expensive Paid Plans: Paid plans have steep pricing stages: Free -> $20 -> $200 -> ∞, where most unique features are only available in paid plans. GitHub Pages Deployment success URL, click to experience. GitHub Pages are built on the GitHub platform. Due to its completely free nature and large user base, many developers use GitHub Pages for website deployment. Evaluation Conclusion Given GitHub's high profile, GitHub Pages is the go-to choice for front-end newbies learning to deploy. The active community can also help solve various issues. However, in terms of scalability and automation, GitHub Pages lags behind commercial platforms. Its stability also leaves something to be desired. Advantages Completely Free: No need to worry about migrating due to paid plans. Active Community: Active community with plenty of experts, ensuring timely resolution of issues. Disadvantages Unstable: GitHub Pages experiences instability, with occasional disconnections and slow access. During tests, routing tracer paths were also not ideal. No Pre-configured Build Scripts: Lack of pre-configured front-end framework build and deploy workflows requires manually writing deploy workflow files, posing a barrier for beginners. Limited Resources: In commercial or collaborative development, GitHub Pages' resource limitations may not suffice. There’s a 1GB storage limit, and up to 10 build deployments per hour restrict many applications. Tencent EdgeOne Pages Deployment success URL, click to experience. EdgeOne Pages, a new website deployment service by Tencent Cloud EdgeOne, is currently in beta and completely free, offering a .site pre-configured domain accelerated in China, addressing the issue of poor performance for all deployment platforms in China. Evaluation Conclusion EdgeOne Pages shows promising results, slightly behind international giants in various metrics. The platform offers abundant free resources and is expected to support serverless Edge Functions soon. Despite future paid plans, it remains worth considering. Advantages Free with Few Restrictions: The platform presently has almost no restrictions, no paid features, and no need for credit card binding. Future commercial versions may introduce more limitations for free plans, according to official statements. Stable Concurrent Builds: Excellent performance in concurrent builds. Considering concurrent builds often lead to build failures, most platforms have strict limits on this. Disadvantages Simple Functionality: The current platform has relatively simple overall functions, with limited provided front-end templates, seemingly in rapid iteration. High Latency in Some Regions: Deployment performance is good in most overseas regions, but some regions have higher latency, likely due to currently fewer global nodes. Summary of Strengths and Weaknesses The above highlights the unique strengths of the platforms. Common advantages like custom domain support and SSL services are not reiterated. There may also be unobserved advantages that you’re welcome to mention in the comments. For mature platforms like Cloudflare and Vercel, shortcomings mainly lie in free plan resource availability, given their comprehensive business advantages. Resource limitations depend on specific needs, with different ceilings for different developers. This sharing offers discussion references, not covering all use cases. Website Deployment Metrics Measurement criteria consist of three categories: Global Access Latency: This metrics tests the latency of accessing the deployed static website from around the world, mainly evaluating each platform’s CDN infrastructure.
