Edge Acceleration
No ICP filing required — one CNAME record, and mainland China users reach your overseas origin over near-shore edge nodes
Overview
China acceleration usually stalls on paperwork. ICP filing means a mainland entity, a mainland-hosted service, and a review measured in weeks before a single request is served. Your domain does not need it here — traffic terminates on near-shore edge nodes in Hong Kong rather than inside the mainland, and network optimization is applied across that cross-border path, so users in mainland China get low-latency, high-stability access instead of the jitter, packet loss, and timeouts of a direct connection. Onboarding is one DNS change: a single CNAME record at your existing provider, with no TXT record, no nameserver migration, and no code. Your origin, IP addressing, hosting provider, and deployment pipeline all stay exactly where they are. Every deployment is isolated — its own gateway domain, routing policy, cache rules, certificate, and firewall configuration — and response headers are normalized so the layer in between is never advertised.
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
- Zero-touch onboarding: one CNAME record at your existing DNS provider — no TXT verification record, no nameserver migration, no agent to install, no application change
- Mainland China network optimization — overseas sites are served to users in mainland China over an optimized cross-border path, not the default public-internet route
- Low-latency, stable access from the mainland — path and protocol optimization into near-shore nodes in Hong Kong that removes the latency, jitter, and packet loss of a direct connection to an overseas origin
- 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
- WAF, DDoS mitigation, bot control, and rate limiting enforced before traffic reaches origin, with response headers normalized to strip proxy fingerprints
- Your own gateway domain, routing policy, cache rules, and firewall settings — configured for your service alone
Why choose Edge Acceleration
- Skip ICP filing entirely — no mainland entity, no mainland-hosted service, and no review period between you and your Chinese users
- Live in days, not months: one CNAME record is the whole cutover, and rollback is a single record change
- Cut cross-border latency and packet loss for Chinese users without building anything inside the mainland
- We manage the certificates, routing rules, cache policy, and WAF configuration — you keep one origin and one deployment pipeline
- Origin shielded — your real IP is never exposed, and attack traffic is filtered at the edge
- Purpose-built for mainland China users reaching an overseas-hosted site — the cross-border case this product exists to make fast and stable
Use cases
Overseas SaaS platforms whose customers bind custom domains and then find them slow or unreachable from the mainland
Marketing, e-commerce, and corporate sites that need consistent China performance without a mainland entity or an ICP filing
APIs and applications whose origin must stay overseas for compliance or operational reasons, with a Chinese user base that feels every slow response
Teams that need WAF, DDoS, and bot protection in front of a China-facing service without deploying into the mainland
