ISSUES WITH ACAST IN CHINA
As robust and comprehensive as Acast’s technology might be, it’s not without its issues in China. Firstly, users in China often experience speed and loading problems due to compatibility issues with the local websites. Particularly, the discrepancies in the content delivery networks (CDN) used in China and the rest of the world can result in sluggish performance.

And of course, the cloud infrastructure Acast uses influences their performance in China. Although Acast’s official documentation doesn’t mention a specific cloud infrastructure, many Western tech companies use infrastructures like AWS and Google Cloud that often face performance issues in China due to connectivity limitations.
However, it’s crucial to mention the solid efforts to overcome these challenges, such as 21YunBox’s solution to streamline the process from Acast to their hosting platform.
