Workers Sites require Wrangler Open external link — make sure to be on the latest version .

To deploy a pre-existing static site project, you’ll need to start with a pre-generated site. Workers Sites works well with all static site generators! For a quick-start, check out the following projects:

• Hugo Open external link
• Gatsby Open external link , requires Node
• Jekyll Open external link , requires Ruby
• Eleventy Open external link , requires Node
• WordPress Open external link (refer to the tutorial on deploying static WordPress sites with Workers )

Once you have a site generated, follow these steps:

1. Run this Wrangler command in the root of your project’s directory:

$ wrangler init --site my-static-site

This command creates a few things: wrangler.toml and a workers-site directory.

2. Add your site’s build directory to the wrangler.toml:

[site]
bucket = "./public" # <-- Add your build directory name here!
entry-point = "workers-site"

The default directories for the most popular static site generators are listed below:

- Hugo: `public`
- Gatsby: `public`
- Jekyll: `_site`
- Eleventy: `_site`

3. Add your account_id to your wrangler.toml. You can find your account_id on the right sidebar of the Workers or Overview Dashboard. Note: You may need to scroll down! For more details on finding your account_id visit Getting started .

4. You can preview your site by running:

$ wrangler dev

5. Decide where you would like to publish your site to: a workers.dev subdomain or your personal domain registered with Cloudflare.

Then, update your wrangler.toml:

Personal Domain: Add your zone_id and a route.

zone_id = "42ef.."
route = "example.com/*"

workers.dev: Set workers_dev to true. This is the default.
