Best-in-class code + infrastructure

Unlike the rest of the world, website performance issues cannot simply be resolved with hosting or content delivery networks. Faster networks also do not equal 'speed' in China. Chinafy is a highly tuned complex integration of both Software (i.e. Code) and infrastructure (i.e. Hardware) that can be bolted onto almost any site.

SITE GENERATION

Two versions of one website

Chinafy first creates a 'China-specific' version of your site based on the publically available html/css/js of your site.

The 'mirrored' version of your site is the one that is then managed & modified by Chinafy - ensuring that your original site and SEO remains unaffected.

INTELLIGENT RESOURCE SUITE

Identify, extract & replace blocked or slow resources

Chinafy's Smart Action function uses rule-based recommendations to handle ~75% of the most blocked or slow resources, replacing them with China equivalents or removing those that are blocked and have no replacement so it doesn't negatively affect the function on the rest of the website.

Chinafy has rules for over 1200+ resources to date.

BEST-IN-CLASS INFRASTRUCTURE

Load Balancers & CDNs

Chinafy then automatically bolts on a best-in-class infrastructure including hosting for your Chinafy site, load balancers to handle for traffic fluctuations, domain compression, near-China content delivery networks (CDNs), selected for their competitiveness based on thousands of performance tests.

RULE-BASED AUTOMATION

Automation & Efficiency

The Chinafy version is then synchronized with your original site so that changes are processed and reflected accordingly.

DNS & CDNS

Geo IP-based Routing

The Chinafy version is hosted with Chinafy. Geo-IP based routing is then implemented on the DNS or CDN level of your site to ensure that only China visitors will be sent to the Chinafy version of your site, and all others back to your original site.

Dynamic requests (e.g. transactions) also return to your original site's origin to ensure that real-time information is provided to visitors in China.
