Chinafy is a China web performance platform that makes global websites load fast and function correctly for users in mainland China, without rebuilding your existing site. Chinafy works with both offshore and onshore hosting configurations. The root cause of website failure in China is not hosting location or delivery speed alone, but the third-party resources embedded throughout global websites: scripts, fonts, tracking pixels, video embeds, and analytics tools from Google, YouTube, Facebook, and other platforms that call out to blocked domains every time a page loads.
