HOW IT WORKS

Maximize web performance and availability for users in China

China’s Internet architecture differs from the rest of the world — and users within China may experience more latency and packet loss when accessing content from data centers outside China.

To optimize content delivery and provide a faster, more secure user experience, Cloudflare partners with JD Cloud to manage approximately 30 data centers across mainland China and connect with major ISPs in each region.
