Clarification on 25 MB Limit for Cloudflare Pages: Total Build Size vs. Individual File Size
Can I use Cloudflare Pages if the final build of my site exceeds 25 MB, while the size of each individual file does not exceed 25 MB?
I tried it and it works perfectly, but in your documentation on the page Products -> Pages -> Platform -> Limits -> File size, it states:
"The maximum file size for a single Cloudflare Pages site asset is 25 MiB."
Will using it this way result in any limitations on my account from Cloudflare? Can I continue using it if it works perfectly and there are no restrictions from Cloudflare? The final build of my site is about 70 MB.

@Chaika thank you
Marked as solved
Can cloudflare please provide a guide to get around the 20k files limit? There seem to be quite a few people with this problem. It really takes away attractiveness as suddenly pages is no longer simple anymore.
At this point I’m tempted to just switch to keyCDN, where I can rsync my hugo output and have as many files as I want. Is going to be cheaper than spending time figuring out workarounds and starting to write custom workers code instead of just using pages.

There is no way to get around the 20k limit for Pages as it is a technical limit.
In the future, please make your own post
So are you saying any website with more than 20k files can’t be hosted on cloudflare? There must be some way to make it work.
You can load the files into R2 and have a worker get them from R2 but you can’t have more than 20k files. People also use server side rendering which generates the file on demand
