Re: GitHub Pages – Usage Limits
#2Is that new? I'm pretty sure that was on that page last time I looked at it (sometime this summer) already.
EDIT: quora answers here https://www.quora.com/What-are-bandwidth-and-traffic-limits-... mention a rule change ~ half a year ago, but not entirely clear what was added. Wayback machine only has a few months old versions of the page that already include these rules. So this possibly was added this year, but not very recently.

#3If you're getting over the bandwidth limit of 100GB or 100,000 requests per month, you could definitely afford to host your site elsewhere...

#4At least they have enabled https... I am using to for a longer time and didnt know it was possible until now.

Actually, 100,000 requests per month is a little less than a req per second. Which means that if you want to have all the services that GH is offering, I guess you would pay quite a lot (relatively speaking).

#6>GitHub Pages sites have a limit of 10 builds per hour.
I didn't know this. It seems one should work locally with Jekyll and only push once everything is done and tested.
Couldn't this be relaxed via/for incremental builds?

My blog gets about 19k uniques a month for which linode shows bandwidth as 39GB. I have a side project (https://www.findlectures.com) that got 60k page views this month, but only because it was linked in lifehacker & The Next Web. Between scrapers and HTTP requests that do feature detection, the number of requests would easily be 10x the number of users.

But not for custom domains, sadly.

> a little less than a req per second
There are 86400 seconds in a day. At a little under a request per second, you're going to hit 100k some time around 3am on the second day, depending on what you take "a little under" to mean.

#10Is this not a chance for github to make some money? I'm about to launch a site on github pages (simple html site, no backend) and there's a tiny chance of it going viral. If it were to reach the 100k limit for requests I'd be more than happy paying github to keep it hosted there.
I already have hosting with the likes of hostgator but they probably couldn't even handle 100k like github would.
