Render Static Sites

Deploys static frontends (React, Vue, Hugo, Gatsby, Docusaurus, Jekyll, etc.) to Render's global CDN with automatic TLS, Brotli compression, HTTP/2, and DDoS protection. Free tier available.

When to Use

• Deploying a static site or SPA (no server-side rendering)
• Choosing between a Static Site and a Web Service for a frontend
• Configuring SPA fallback routing, redirects/rewrites, or custom headers
• Setting up PR preview environments for a static site
• Troubleshooting build failures or stale content on a CDN-hosted site

For SSR frameworks (Next.js, Nuxt, SvelteKit) that need a running server, use render-web-services instead. For Blueprint authoring, see render-blueprints.
