TABLE OF CONTENTS

What are Custom HTML Pages?

Custom HTML Pages let you upload a single .html file to your GHL Customer Care-hosted WordPress site and publish it as a live page on your mapped domain. Instead of relying on a drag-and-drop editor, you can upload prebuilt code from any tool—giving developers and agencies full control while maintaining the convenience and security of GHL Customer Care hosting.

Key Benefits of Custom HTML Pages

Using Custom HTML Pages empowers you to expand your website-building workflow without giving up the reliability and performance of GHL Customer Care’s hosting infrastructure.

  • All-in-one hosting: Manage builder-based and code-based pages within the same WordPress site.

  • Performance optimized: Static HTML files load instantly for faster site speeds.

  • Flexible integration: Works seamlessly with AI tools, SSGs, and manual HTML code.

  • Simplified SSL & domain setup: Uses your existing GHL Customer Care SSL certificates and domain connections.

  • Future-ready design: Perfect for microsites, custom landing pages, or one-off campaign pages.

File Requirements & Limitations

Understanding file requirements ensures your upload process is smooth and prevents publishing errors.

  • Only a single .html file can be uploaded at a time.

  • Maximum file size: 5 MB.

  • Images, CSS, and JavaScript files must be referenced via absolute URLs (e.g., from a CDN or media library).

  • Relative paths and multi-folder uploads are not yet supported.

  • Each upload represents one unique page. (Multiple pages require separate uploads.)
