China Access Acceleration
Better website access in China for international businesses
Help customers, employees, and partners in mainland China access your website with improved speed and stability. No ICP filing is required for this offshore solution.
Overview
China Access Acceleration helps international businesses improve website access for customers, employees, and partners in mainland China. It is designed for websites whose origins are hosted outside mainland China. Your domain does not need an ICP filing here — traffic terminates on near-shore edge nodes in Hong Kong rather than inside the mainland. Network optimization aims to improve latency and access stability for users in mainland China. Cutover typically uses one CNAME record at your existing DNS provider and usually does not require TXT verification; certificate, domain, and origin compatibility are checked before launch. Your origin, primary storage, IP addressing, hosting provider, and deployment pipeline stay where they are. Each deployment has its own gateway domain, routing policy, cache rules, certificate, and firewall configuration.

Key features
- No ICP filing required — the acceleration region sits outside mainland China, so the domain needs no MIIT filing, no mainland entity, and no mainland-hosted service
- Simple onboarding: cutover typically uses one CNAME record at your existing DNS provider and usually requires no TXT verification; certificate, domain, and origin compatibility are checked before launch
- Mainland China network optimization — international websites are served to users in mainland China over an optimized cross-border path, not the default public-internet route
- Improved access from mainland China — path and protocol optimization through near-shore nodes in Hong Kong aims to improve latency and stability
- Reverse proxy delivery layer — your origin server, IP addresses, and hosting provider stay exactly as they are
- TLS terminated at the edge on your own hostname — bring your own certificate, or use a free certificate issued and auto-renewed on a 90-day cycle, plus HTTP/2 and HTTP/3
- Basic security protection is included; advanced DDoS protection is available for an additional fee
- Your own gateway domain, routing policy, cache rules, and firewall settings — configured for your service alone
Why choose China Access Acceleration
- Skip ICP filing entirely — no mainland entity, no mainland-hosted service, and no review period between you and your Chinese users
- Validate before production cutover — where your website configuration allows, compare access using a dedicated test subdomain while your production hostname keeps its existing route
- Cutover typically uses one CNAME record; certificate, domain, and origin compatibility are checked before launch
- Improve latency and access stability for mainland China users without building infrastructure inside the mainland
- We manage the certificates, routing rules, cache policy, and protection settings — you keep one origin and one deployment pipeline
- Keep your existing website hostname while improving access for users in mainland China
- Purpose-built for international businesses serving customers, employees, and partners in mainland China
