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.
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/
Why is #Dareboost reporting "7 resources has a non-consistent extension with its actual content" in this report where #Cloudinary images were proxified through #Netlify, but not on this one where they're not… 🤷♂️
Trailing Slashes on URLs: Contentious or Settled?
I have mixed feelings about URLs without an extension (.html for example) or a trailing slash. It certainly comes mostly from 25 years of unexpected…
