How to Use Exported HTML

An exported HTML file is the document a browser reads to display your page. For most static hosts, the homepage file should be named index.html.

Quick summary

Preview the file locally, keep referenced assets together, check favicon and mobile, then publish the folder or file to a static host such as Cloudflare Pages.

Understand index.html

A host looks for index.html when someone visits your site root. If your exported file has another name, rename it to index.html before uploading unless your host says otherwise.

  1. 1.Download the export.
  2. 2.Rename the main file to index.html.
  3. 3.Keep any linked assets in the same relative folders.
  4. 4.Do not rename folders unless you also update the HTML references.
Tip: FinalFix image replacements saved as data URLs travel inside the HTML file.

Preview locally

Double-click index.html to open it in a browser. If your page uses scripts that require a server, you may need to preview with a local static server, but many landing pages work by opening the file directly.

  1. 1.Open the file in Chrome, Edge, Safari or Firefox.
  2. 2.Click every navigation item and CTA.
  3. 3.Confirm images and favicon load.
  4. 4.Use responsive mode to check mobile widths.
Tip: If an image is missing, check whether the src path points to a file that moved.

Publish after checking

Once the page works locally, upload it to a static host. Cloudflare Pages is a beginner-friendly choice because it can serve static HTML and provide a pages.dev preview URL.

  1. 1.Create a Pages project.
  2. 2.Upload the file or connect a repository.
  3. 3.Visit the pages.dev preview URL.
  4. 4.Connect a custom domain when ready.
Tip: Read the Cloudflare Pages guide next if you want the simplest deployment path.

Common mistakes
