GitHub Pages limits

Learn about the limits and limitations of GitHub Pages.

Wer kann dieses Feature verwenden?

GitHub Pages ist in öffentlichen Repositorys mit GitHub Free und GitHub Free für Organisationen sowie in öffentlichen und privaten Repositorys mit GitHub Pro, GitHub Team, GitHub Enterprise Cloud und GitHub Enterprise Server verfügbar. Weitere Informationen findest du unter GitHub-Pläne.

GitHub Pages verwendet nun GitHub Actions zur Ausführung des Jekyll-Builds. Wenn Sie einen Zweig als Quelle Ihres Builds verwenden, muss GitHub Actions in Ihrem Repository aktiviert sein, wenn Sie den eingebauten Jekyll-Workflow verwenden möchten. Wenn GitHub Actions nicht verfügbar oder deaktiviert ist, können Sie alternativ eine .nojekyll-Datei zum Stamm Ihrer Quellverzweigung hinzufügen, um den Jekyll-Erstellungsprozess zu umgehen und den Inhalt direkt bereitzustellen. Weitere Informationen zur Aktivierung von GitHub Actions findest du unter Verwalten von GitHub Actions-Einstellungen für ein Repository.

Usage limits

GitHub Pages is not intended for or allowed to be used as a free web-hosting service to run your online business, e-commerce site, or any other website that is primarily directed at either facilitating commercial transactions or providing commercial software as a service (SaaS). GitHub Pages-Websites sollten nicht für Transaktionen sensibler Daten verwendet werden, also beispielsweise nicht für das Senden von Passwörtern oder Kreditkartennummern.

In addition, your use of GitHub Pages is subject to the GitHub Terms of Service, including the restrictions on get-rich-quick schemes, sexually obscene content, and violent or threatening content or activity.

GitHub Pages sites are subject to the following usage limits:

  • You can only create one user or organization site for each account on GitHub.

  • GitHub Pages source repositories have a recommended limit of 1 GB. For more information, see Informationen zu großen Dateien auf GitHub.

  • Published GitHub Pages sites may be no larger than 1 GB.

  • GitHub Pages deployments will timeout if they take longer than 10 minutes.

  • GitHub Pages sites have a soft bandwidth limit of 100 GB per month.

  • GitHub Pages sites have a soft limit of 10 builds per hour. This limit does not apply if you build and publish your site with a custom GitHub Actions workflow.

  • In order to provide consistent quality of service for all GitHub Pages sites, rate limits may apply. These rate limits are not intended to interfere with legitimate uses of GitHub Pages. If your request triggers rate limiting, you will receive an appropriate response with an HTTP status code of 429, along with an informative HTML body.

If your site exceeds these usage quotas, we may not be able to serve your site, or you may receive a polite email from GitHub-Support suggesting strategies for reducing your site's impact on our servers, including putting a third-party content distribution network (CDN) in front of your site, making use of other GitHub features such as releases, or moving to a different hosting service that might better fit your needs.

Educational exercises

Using GitHub Pages to create a copy of an existing website as a learning exercise is not prohibited. However, in addition to complying with the GitHub Terms of Service, you must write the code yourself, the site must not collect any user data, and you must include a prominent disclaimer on the site indicating that the project is not associated with the original and was only created for educational purposes.
