Using this wrangler-action is unnecessarily slow and therefore consumes significant resources across the universe of people using it.
Evidence
Here is my deploy script in GitHub Actions using this wrangler-action:
# Deploy acls.net to Cloudflare Pages
deploy-acls-net:
name: Deploy acls.net
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
needs: [filter, build]
if: needs.filter.outputs.acls_net_changed == 'true' || needs.filter.outputs.shared_changed == 'true'
concurrency:
group: deploy-acls-net-${{ github.ref }}
cancel-in-progress: false
environment:
name: acls.net
url: ${{ steps.deploy.outputs.deployment-url }}
outputs:
preview-url: ${{ steps.deploy.outputs.deployment-url }}
steps:
- name: Download artifact
uses: actions/download-artifact@v8
with:
name: acls-net-build
path: build/
# NOTE: Cloudflare Pages deployments are atomic. The live production URL is only updated
# once the entire build is verified on their network. Interrupted builds do not affect the live site.
- name: Deploy to Cloudflare Pages
id: deploy
uses: cloudflare/wrangler-action@v4
with:
apiToken: ${{ secrets.CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN }}
accountId: ${{ secrets.CLOUDFLARE_ACCOUNT_ID }}
command: pages deploy build/ --project-name=acls-net --branch=${{ github.head_ref || github.ref_name }}Here is how much CI time this consumes just installing Wrangler before it actually uses it (pasted from a GitHub Action run receipt).

Expectation
If you replace usage of this wrangler-action GitHub Action and instead use the GitHub's first-party supported setup node action, you can achieve 10x speed-up today.
Recommendation
I recommend that Cloudflare study this technique and implement it themselves to achieve this 10x speed-up.
