ZIP website to link

How the ZIP is read

The server opens the archive's table of contents first and checks sizes before unpacking anything, so a broken or oversized ZIP is rejected in a moment rather than half-published. Then each entry is saved at its own path. If everything sits inside one top-level folder (common when you right-click a folder and choose “Compress”), that folder is stripped so my-site/index.html becomes the root page.

System junk such as __MACOSX/, .DS_Store and Thumbs.db is ignored.

ZIP or folder — which to drop?

Both give the same result. On the Free plan a ZIP can be up to 2 MB. Dragging the unzipped folder straight onto the drop area works in Chrome, Edge and Firefox and skips the zipping step. On phones, ZIP is easier because mobile browsers cannot pick folders.

Links between pages

Links like <a href="about.html"> and <a href="blog/post-1.html"> work exactly as they did on your computer. Folder links such as /blog/ open blog/index.html. Avoid absolute Windows paths (C:\Users\…) and file:// URLs — they only ever worked on your own machine.
