   I still don't understand why using Cloudflare in front of Netlify allows for a much better and stable Time To First Byte (TTFB) than Cloudflare Pages or Netlify alone… 🤷‍♂️

   

   TTFB for static sites should always be very low.

   TIL AVIF transformation is only available on #Cloudflare for images below 2 megapixels… 😭

   We need JPEG XL! 🙏

3. Updating webmentions on a static site

   When I started using Webmention on this site (more than 5 years ago!), I was building the site on my local computer, and uploading the build result on my hosting with rsync. I've moved to Cloudflare Pages 6 months ago, which means webmentions where updated only when I pushed new content to GitHub. Here's how I fixed that.

   To have different builds for #Cloudflare Pages previews, I found if-env and the CF_PAGES_BRANCH variable:

   {
     "scripts": {
       "build": "if-env CF_PAGES_BRANCH=main && npm run main || npm run preview"
     }
   }

   If you want to run a #GitHub Action after a #Cloudflare Pages build is done, you can use @WalshyDev's Action: https://github.com/marketplace/actions/cloudflare-pages-await

   I hope Cloudflare Pages will get triggers like #Netlify: https://docs.netlify.com/functions/trigger-on-events/
