“Someone uploaded a 4MB image to the homepage… again.” 😬

A lot of us have done it. Uploaded a big image to a website without thinking about performance.

That’s why we love our setup:
CloudCannon + S3 + Imgix = image optimisation, no performance hit.

Editors can upload high-res assets directly through the CloudCannon interface, and Imgix handles the rest — resizing, compressing, and serving the best format for the user’s device.

No manual work. No slow sites.

Input validation is on the way! Tell us what you think 💡

It's one of our most requested features: giving developers more control with validation rules so editors provide the right data.

We'd love your feedback. Find the plan in the Community

Blueprint Finance knew their WordPress site wasn’t cutting it: slow, clunky, and stressful to maintain.

So they switched to a static site on CloudCannon.

⚡ Fast
🔒 Secure

@chriskirknielsen hey, great article!
have you seen pagebreak? I use it for double pagination (11ty's built-in pagination + pagebreak)
it's FOSS, really solid, and maintained by @cloudcannon

I love tools that run after generation, SSG-agnostic. I'm going down that road for my new plugins

"What should be my next SSG?"
"I’ve built a conditional form builder inside"
"How would you prefer to search for configuration keys?"

👆 Just a few of the chats happening in our new community forum!

"I almost forgot that website maintenance was a thing.
That’s something you just don’t need to do when you have this static tech stack."

Despite currently managing over 60+ client websites, Sindre notes, “I can have days with no emails and no problems.”

Headless CMSs can be a game-changer. By separating the backend (content) from the frontend, they let you build the way you want.

We recently released Headless Mode, so you can create exactly what you need:

✅ Fully hosted static websites
✅ Server-side rendering (SSR)
✅ Fully hosted APIs

“You need a dynamic website for a modern experience.” Do you, though?

A static website is lightweight, secure, and easier to maintain — perfect for most use cases. Unless you truly need the horsepower of a dynamic site, why take on extra complexity?
