# China CDN

Regional content delivery inside the mainland: high availability, reliability, and a fully managed setup for simple implementation.

Reaching users in **mainland China** means serving content from inside the network,
not from beyond the "firewall." Our **China CDN** delivers your properties locally,
cutting response times dramatically. To optimise your setup and stay legally
compliant, we strongly recommend a **local Chinese CDN provider**, and we handle the
ICP licensing and operations for you.

*Content is cached on local PoPs inside the mainland rather than crossing the border on every request.*

- Users in China (Mainland)
- Optimi China Edge
- Global origin (Across the border)
- Local delivery (ICP-compliant PoPs)
- Border fetch (Only when needed)

## Local. Fast. Managed.

- **China Networks**: Serving content locally instead of from outside the firewall produces far faster response times. A local Chinese provider optimises your setup and keeps you legally compliant.
- **Fast Deployment**: We integrate Chinese CDNs as a service extension to reach the world's largest market, managing the technical and administrative work so you simply benefit from in-country performance.
- **Cost Effective**: Our managed integration gives you web performance in China at competitive pricing, without building provider relationships or licensing in-house.

> **ICP licence handled for you**
