01 / The problem
Why Generic Web Hosts Slow Down Static Sites
Static websites should load instantly anywhere in the world. However, legacy hosting solutions rely on single-region servers, complex CDN invalidation rules, or expensive bandwidth overage fees that penalize growing sites.
Complex Cache Purging
Updating content often requires waiting minutes or manually clearing CDN caches before changes become visible.
Unoptimized Heavy Images
Uncompressed PNGs and JPEGs degrade Core Web Vitals scores and mobile page load speeds.
Manual SSL & Redirect Configurations
Setting up canonical domain redirects (www to non-www) and renewing SSL certificates manually creates maintenance overhead.

07 / FAQ
Questions and answers.
Which static site generators (SSG) are supported?
We support Astro, Next.js static exports (`output: "export"`), React (Vite/CRA), Vue, SvelteKit, Hugo, Jekyll, Nuxt, Gatsby, Eleventy, and any framework that outputs static HTML, CSS, and JS files.
How fast is cache invalidation when I publish updates?
Cache invalidation on Deployxa Edge happens automatically on every deploy across the edge network, ensuring visitors immediately see the latest version of your site.
Can I collect contact form submissions without a backend?
Yes! Deployxa includes built-in form handling. Simply add a `data-deployxa-form` attribute to your HTML form tag, and submissions will be collected in your dashboard and forwarded to email or webhooks.
How does Deployxa handle SPA client-side routing (React Router/Vue Router)?
For Single Page Applications (SPAs), Deployxa allows one-click SPA fallback routing so that all incoming URLs serve your `index.html` while preserving client-side routes.
Are custom 301 redirects and security headers supported?
Yes. You can add a `_redirects` or `deployxa.json` file to your project root to define custom 301/302 redirects, URL rewrites, and security headers like HSTS or CSP.
Is there a limit on custom domain names or SSL certificates?
No. You can link unlimited custom domain names and subdomains to your static project. All custom domains receive automatic, self-renewing SSL certificates.
How does automatic image optimization work?
When enabled, Deployxa Edge intercepts image requests and delivers optimized WebP or AVIF variants tailored to the visitor's browser support and device screen resolution.
Is static site hosting included on the free tier?
