I have been reading more and more about Cloudflare Workers and it looking really cool but I couldn’t think of how I might make use of them. Then I came across a post showing how to use the WP2Static plugin to take an existing WordPress site and migrate it into Cloudflare workers. That was the kick that I needed to migrate my site over. What I like about this solution is I get to keep the ease of content creation that goes with WordPress but the speed and security associated with a serverless site.
Therefore what I will do is maintain a WordPress Instance locally. It doesn’t need to be publically accessible & therefore no security risk. The Instance doesn’t need to be online either except if I want to edit content.
The WP2Static plugin supports a number of automated deployments to some hosting platforms. At the moment Cloudflare isn’t one of them so it does require a bit more manual work. Hopefully, they will support this in the future. I think this trade-off is worth it. Cloudflare has an extensive global network in more than 200 cities I’m going to leverage these to run this site.
