I tried Markdown->Hugo->Cloudflare pages route. If you need all bells and whistles of Wordpress you can generate static pages off a local wordpress installation[0] using a WP plugin[1] and host in Cloudflare pages

Seconding this suggestion; no ads, good speed, and complete control over the look and feel of your blog. You can even point your domain at it.

I'm a fan of timlrx/tailwind-nextjs-starter-blog [1]. It's easy to customize, responsive, uses Markdown, and makes use of SSR.

You can deploy it on Vercel [2] for free and then point it to a custom domain using DNS records in the Vercel "Domains" tab.
