Built with Cursor? Deploy it to GitHub Pages.
Step-by-step deployment help for Cursor-built apps on GitHub Pages. We fix deployment issues, configure GitHub Pages correctly, and get your app live in production. From $19.
Cursor issues we fix before deploying
Problems specific to Cursor's code generation that affect GitHub Pages deployments.
Exposed API keys in client code
Cursor often places sensitive keys and secrets directly in client-side components or .env files without the NEXT_PUBLIC prefix distinction, making them accessible in the browser.
Missing input validation on API routes
Server actions and API routes generated by Cursor frequently accept user input without sanitization or schema validation, opening the door to injection attacks.
Unhandled async errors
Cursor wraps code in try/catch inconsistently. Failed API calls, database queries, and file operations often crash the app silently or show raw error messages to users.
Race conditions in state management
Multiple rapid state updates or concurrent API calls cause stale data, UI flickers, and inconsistent behavior — especially in forms and real-time features.
GitHub Pages deployment issues we check for
Common GitHub Pages problems that break AI-generated 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
Can you deploy a Cursor-built app to GitHub Pages?
Yes. We regularly deploy Cursor-generated projects to GitHub Pages. We handle the platform-specific configuration, fix deployment errors, and ensure your app runs reliably in production on GitHub Pages.
What GitHub Pages issues do Cursor projects typically have?
Cursor projects commonly have exposed api keys in client code and missing input validation on api routes. When deploying to GitHub Pages, these combine with platform-specific issues like client-side routing returns 404 on refresh and api routes have no server to run on.
How do I get my Cursor project live on GitHub Pages?
Start with our code audit ($19) to get a prioritized list of deployment blockers. For Cursor-built projects targeting GitHub Pages, the typical path is: fix Cursor-specific code issues, configure GitHub Pages settings correctly, then deploy. We provide a fixed quote after the audit.
Can you handle the full deployment of my Cursor app to GitHub Pages?
Yes. We handle end-to-end deployment: auditing your Cursor codebase, fixing deployment blockers, configuring GitHub Pages correctly, setting up environment variables, and getting your app live in production. Start with our code audit ($19).
