Deploy to Bunny CDN

What you need: Simply Static Pro

Simply Static can push your static site to Bunny CDN, a fast and affordable CDN. Your files are served from Bunny's global edge network, which gives you great performance and low costs without a traditional web host.

Before you start (on the Bunny side)

Create a free account at bunny.net. You'll need a few values from your Bunny dashboard. Bunny's dashboard changes over time, so check Bunny's documentation for the latest, but here is where each value lives today:

  • Account API key: in your Bunny account settings, under your profile.
  • Storage zone: found under Storage. A storage zone holds your files. Open its FTP & API Access tab to find the Hostname (your storage host) and the Password (your access key). Use the full Password, not the read-only one.

Simply Static can create the pull zone and storage zone for you if they don't exist yet, using your account API key. If you're starting from scratch, the simplest approach is to create a storage zone in Bunny first, copy its host and access key, and then let Simply Static create the matching pull zone.

Choose the Bunny CDN method

Open Simply Static > Deploy. Under Deployment Settings, set the Deployment Method dropdown to Bunny CDN. The Bunny CDN fields appear below.

Fill in your Bunny details

  • Bunny CDN API Key: your account-level API key from Bunny.
  • Storage Host: the hostname for your storage zone, shown in its FTP & API Access tab. Bunny uses different hosts depending on your storage region, so use the one shown for your zone.
  • Bunny CDN Access Key: the storage zone Password from FTP & API Access. Be sure to use the full Password and not the read-only one.
  • Pull Zone: the name of your pull zone. Simply Static looks for a pull zone with this name and creates one if it doesn't exist. Enter just the name, not a full URL.
  • Storage Zone: the name of your storage zone. Same behavior here: Simply Static finds it by name or creates a new one.
  • Subdirectory: optional. To push your files into a subfolder of the storage zone, add its name here.

When everything is filled in, click Save Settings.

Push your site

Click Push from the panel on the left, then open Simply Static > Activity Log to follow the progress. Once it finishes, your files are live on Bunny CDN.

Make sure your link settings match where the site will live. See How to replace URLs.

Tip: XML sitemaps

If your XML sitemap isn't reachable on the live site, you may need to add a rule for your main domain on the Bunny edge (and on any proxy in front of it, such as Cloudflare). You can add a sitemap to your export using the Include Pages and Files option.
