Deploy your React app to GitHub Pages
Step-by-step deployment help for React apps on GitHub Pages. We fix React-specific deployment issues, configure GitHub Pages, and get your app live. From $19.
React issues we fix before deploying
Common React problems that affect GitHub Pages deployments.
XSS via dangerouslySetInnerHTML
AI tools use dangerouslySetInnerHTML to render dynamic content without sanitization, allowing script injection.
Exposed environment variables
Sensitive keys placed in NEXT_PUBLIC_ or REACT_APP_ prefixed variables, making them visible in the browser bundle.
Unnecessary re-renders
Missing React.memo, useMemo, and useCallback cause components to re-render on every parent update, degrading performance.
Unhandled promise rejections
Async operations in useEffect without proper error handling crash silently or show raw error messages.
GitHub Pages deployment issues we check for
Common GitHub Pages problems that break React apps in production.
Client-side routing returns 404 on refresh
React Router and other SPA routers break on page refresh because GitHub Pages doesn't support URL rewrites. Only the root index.html is served for the base path.
API routes have no server to run on
AI-generated Next.js or Express backends can't run on GitHub Pages. There's no server-side execution — only static HTML, CSS, and JavaScript are served.
Base path not configured for project sites
Project sites deploy to username.github.io/repo-name, but AI tools build with root (/) as the base path, breaking all asset and route references.
Custom domain DNS propagation issues
CNAME file missing from the build output or DNS records misconfigured, causing the custom domain to point nowhere or show GitHub's 404 page.

Frequently asked questions
How do I deploy a React app to GitHub Pages?
We handle React deployments to GitHub Pages end to end. Start with our code audit ($19) to identify deployment blockers specific to your React project, then we configure GitHub Pages, fix issues, and get your app live in production.
What React issues affect GitHub Pages deployments?
React projects commonly have xss via dangerouslysetinnerhtml and exposed environment variables. On GitHub Pages, these combine with client-side routing returns 404 on refresh and api routes have no server to run on to cause deployment failures.
Can SpringCode deploy my React project to GitHub Pages?
Yes. We specialize in deploying React applications to GitHub Pages. We audit your codebase for React-specific issues, configure GitHub Pages correctly, and handle the full deployment so your app runs reliably in production.
What does React deployment to GitHub Pages cost?
Our code audit ($19) identifies all GitHub Pages deployment blockers in your React project. Full deployment assistance is scoped with a fixed quote after the audit — no hourly billing or surprise charges.
