Astro v5 Cloudflare Pages deployment recommended build settings

💡 Result:

Recommended Cloudflare Pages build settings for Astro v5

1. Framework preset: Astro. [1][2]
2. Build command: npm run build (or npx astro build if you prefer). [1][2]
3. Build output directory: dist. [1][2]
4. For SSR / Pages Functions: add the @astrojs/cloudflare adapter (npx astro add cloudflare) and, if using Wrangler, use npx astro build then npx wrangler deploy (or set a deploy command). [2][3]
5. Node/runtime pinning: set NODE_VERSION (or include .nvmrc / .node-version) in project Settings → Environment variables if you need a specific Node version for consistent builds. Cloudflare Pages supports overriding Node via NODE_VERSION. [4]
6. Useful notes: disable Cloudflare “Auto Minify” if you see client-side hydration mismatches; set SKIP_DEPENDENCY_INSTALL or other env vars only if you know what you’re customizing. [2][4]

Astro inlineStylesheets auto setting Cloudflare Pages performance

💡 Result:

Short answer

• Astro's build.inlineStylesheets: "auto" inlines only styles smaller than Vite's assetsInlineLimit (default ~4 KB), leaving larger/global CSS as external files. [1][2][3]

How that affects Cloudflare Pages performance

• Fewer requests: inlining small CSS removes extra stylesheet fetches, reducing client round-trips and improving first‑load on high‑latency connections (benefit on edge‑served Pages). [1][3]
• Cache tradeoff: external stylesheets can be cached across pages; inlining duplicates styles in each HTML response, increasing HTML size and preventing reuse between pages. Use "auto" to inline only tiny sheets so large shared CSS stays cacheable. [1][2]
• Edge behavior on Pages: Cloudflare Pages serves prebuilt HTML from the edge, so inlining moves work into the HTML response distributed by Cloudflare — that lowers additional network requests to the edge but increases the payload size delivered from the edge. For most sites, "auto" gives a good balance. [2][4]

Recommendations

• Keep default "auto" for general use (small critical CSS inlined, large CSS cached). [2][3]
• If you have many pages that share a large stylesheet, consider "never" or raise vite.build.assetsInlineLimit so shared CSS stays external and cacheable.
• If you need maximal first-byte speed for very small, critical CSS, consider "always" but watch increased HTML size and loss of cross‑page caching.

Astro assetsInlineLimit 0 configuration best practices

💡 Result:

Short answer: setting Vite/Astro's assetsInlineLimit to 0 disables automatic inlining of small assets (CSS, images, fonts, etc.). This is useful when you want all assets emitted as separate files (for CDN caching, consistent URLs, easier debugging, stricter CSPs), but it increases number of HTTP requests and can change critical-path load behavior. Configure via astro.config by passing the Vite build option.

When to set to 0

• Use 0 if you rely on a CDN or long-term caching of hashed asset files, need stable file URLs (server-side routing, Workers, S3/Cloudfront setups), or must avoid base64 inlined blobs for CSP/reporting or analytics reasons. [1][2]
• Avoid 0 if you have many tiny assets that would be better served inline to reduce requests on HTTP/1 or improve initial render (or you rely on inline CSS for critical CSS). Consider keeping the default (4096 bytes) or tuning to a different threshold instead. [1][2]

Tradeoffs / best-practice checklist

• Caching: separate files are cacheable independently (good). Inline assets are baked into HTML/JS (bad for sharing across pages). [2]
• Requests: more files → more requests on HTTP/1; on HTTP/2/3 multiplexing this is less costly. Test your target infra. [2]
• Bundle size: base64 inlining increases bundle size ≈4/3 of binary; disabling inlining avoids that. [2]
• CSP & analytics: inlined assets complicate nonce/CSP policies and analytics payload inspection—disabling helps. [1][2]
• Fonts & SVGs: often better as external (unless a tiny critical font subset); treat SVGs carefully (inlining can be beneficial for critical icons, but may bloat HTML). [2]
• Astro inlineStylesheets: if you rely on Astro's build.inlineStylesheets: 'auto' behavior, note it uses Vite's assetsInlineLimit to decide whether to inline styles; setting assetsInlineLimit: 0 plus inlineStylesheets: 'auto' will make styles external. Adjust inlineStylesheets if you want different behavior. [1]

Example (astro.config.mjs)

• Minimal example to disable inlining:
  import { defineConfig } from 'astro/config'
  export default defineConfig({
  vite: {
  build: { assetsInlineLimit: 0 }
  },
  build: {
  inlineStylesheets: 'auto' // or 'never' / 'always' as needed
  }
  })

Testing & validation

• Compare Lighthouse / Core Web Vitals before/after.
• Inspect network requests for small assets and verify CDN caching headers.
• If you need per-file rules, Vite supports a function for assetsInlineLimit in some versions—otherwise handle via import ?url or explicit file handling (but note there are edge cases). [2]
