5$/month plan is kinda open ended, you pay for each request above included in the plan (0.5$ for 1 million requests)
With a high-perfomance language like Golang for example, I could write a script that's making 500req/second to your site. That would cost you 20$/day.
With Github Pages it wouldn't cost you anything (or they might disable your page if it costs too much bandwidth, not sure)

500req/s would result in you being ratelimited by the global worker ratelimit though unless you distributed these requests across multiple IPs.
Today I moved my frontend over to a Worker, and deleted my GitHub page repo. This is much simpler. Now I don't have to worry about cache rules, and I can use the same deployment tooling for the backend and frontend.
