Consider deploying docs to Cloudflare Pages/Netlify/etc

What do you think about deploying docs website to Cloudflare Pages/Netlify/etc, instead of gh pages? It's free, easy to set up and - at least to me - feels much simpler to maintain.

GH actions are pretty slow, and config is cumbersome to set up and maintain. One benefit of GHP is that deployment setup is more "transparent" - anyone can see it in the code. But I'm not sure it's so important for docs website - if any onewants to open a PR to update gh workflow file - it's more of a distraction from the main project maintenance.

Here's an example PR that shows how CF integration works: ViktorZhurbin#1

Note the comment from CF bot there. It provides Preview URL, so that you can review both the code and the actual result. That's a killer feature for me.
