Note from 15 March 2022
My photography portfolio is back on #Netlify for a few good features (faster builds, don't build PRs, proxies with URL rewrites, support for #Eleventy), but the CDN stays on #Cloudflare, much faster in Europe.

Judging by this #SpeedCurve graph comparing TTFB from last 3 months to the 3 months before, it looks like TTFB has improved lately with #Netlify, while it has degraded with #Cloudflare:
The graph is split in 2 with Jully to September 2023 on the left and October to December 2023 on the right.
I'm currently using Cloudflare in front of Netlify, but I'm not sure it's worth it anymore. 🤔
Netlify’s Disingenuous Survey-based Attack on Next.js (and Eleventy, too)
Reading the report, it’s clear that Netlify has a vested interest in elevating Astro because Astro is best poised to dethrone Next.js. If Astro wins,…
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.
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.
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/
