You get unlimited static asset requests.

it says i would only get 50 subrequests, what are those?

You're probably talking about the Functions/Workers subrequest limit I assume. You get 50 subrequests per invocation (http request), and you get 100k invocations a day on free.
That is to say, if you create and use a Cloudflare Function in your Pages Project, it can do 50 subrequests (fetch()'s inside of it, cache api also counts) per request it gets from a user

ty for asnwering

bregue dhueOP•7/13/23, 6:49 PM

the cloudflare functions are like the serverless functions from amazon?

Chaika•7/13/23, 6:50 PM

Yep exactly. Functions are essentially Cloudflare Workers, but with a bit of sugar/file based routing around it for the Pages ecosystem. It's the same platform and general limits, and they both count towards the same free quota

ty ty and what about these request limits? 100mb body size?

bregue dhueOP•7/13/23, 6:52 PM

this is for how large my assets are to download?

Chaika•7/13/23, 6:53 PM

It's the max request upload size to your function. That is, if you tried uploading a 200 MB file to your worker on free, it would fail

Chaika•7/13/23, 6:53 PM

Download size is unlimited via functions, although Pages itself has a 25 MB per file limit

bregue dhueOP•7/13/23, 6:54 PM

yeah sounds like i don't need to be paying

bregue dhueOP•7/13/23, 6:54 PM

which is pretty cool

Chaika•7/13/23, 6:55 PM

you probably don't, CF's free tier is pretty generous, if your pages site is fully static you would only need to pay for more builds

bregue dhueOP•7/13/23, 6:55 PM

what does that mean more builds?

Chaika•7/13/23, 6:56 PM

You get 500 builds per month on free, there is also the limit of 100 custom domains per project, and 1 concurrent build (i.e only one build at once across all your projects)

Chaika•7/13/23, 6:56 PM

If you needed more then that many builds, or wanted more custom domains or concurrent builds, then you would want to upgrade

i really appreciate your help

bregue dhueOP•7/13/23, 6:57 PM

i thikn i'm fine with the free plan. it seems the next step up is for blogs that have considerable traffic and the one after that is for small online stores

bregue dhueOP•7/13/23, 6:58 PM

i'm just trying to build portfolio projects for my resume

You probably are. If it's worth explaining as well, I assume you're saying that because of the pro/biz descriptions. You aren't forced to upgrade, you can have a commerical site even on free plan. I know quite a few businesses still on free plan, if you don't need any of the extra features, no point in upgrading

bregue dhueOP•7/13/23, 7:00 PM

interesting

bregue dhueOP•7/13/23, 7:01 PM
