What is the issue you’re encountering

I am in need for a solution for a maintenance page that doesn’t require cloudflare workers

What’s the reason you don’t want to use a Worker? Will help with suggesting alternatives.

Some ideas:

  • Temporary (302) redirect everything with a rule to a Pages site/custom domain (maintenance.example.com).
  • Paid plan - use a Snippet (if the number of Workers requests is your issue) to load a Pages site in place of the requested page or return HTML and files from R2.
  • Business or Enterprise - use a Waiting Room

Others may have better suggestions.

Just expanding on this, there is an example Snippet for this:

Snippet would be my preferred solution if you are on a paid plan.

Custom Error Response (paid plans)? It triggers like a rule, and you can populate it with HTML.

Still, if you’re on a Paid Plan, the Snippet’s easier.

I am trying not to do cloudflare worker stuff as it is mainly only down for stuff like software updates and other things, aswell as It seems a bit complicated, and with me only having one server which is my personal pc, I’d rather it be external, due to scripts not running if my pc is off as from what I understand is cloudflare workers are device hosted

You misunderstand. Workers can be developed and simulated locally, but deploy to Cloudflare’s network. That’s the point of them, see…

Simple Workers can be coded directly in the dashboard, or use the Snippet example that @Laudian linked to.
