In this articles we discuss the options, best methods, and steps of deploying Gatsby in China while maintaining its world-class performance.
Why Gatsby?
Gatsby builds the fastest sites in the world. Their modern site framework implements performance and blazing fast speeds into your sites.
How to Improve Gatsby’s Performance in China
Deploying your Gatsby code in China without the proper hosting service is like driving your Tesla Model X on muddy roads, doable but about 5-8x times slower. The slow performance is a result of foreign hosting services having to deal with the Great Firewall and foreign DNS.
There are a few static site hosting options within China, such as AWS S3 China Region or Ali Cloud OSS. In addition to the infamous slow customer service by these larger companies, they also do not offer the same level of “build and deploy” services such as Netlify or Heroku.
To get the maximum performance out of your Gatsby framework, we recommend 21YunBox.
