Understand how your website performs
in mainland China

qedge.link provides a practical China website assessment to identify performance, accessibility, localisation, hosting, search visibility, AI-readiness and delivery issues affecting mainland China users.

Before changing your platform, understand the real issues

Many global organisations know their website does not perform well in mainland China, but the causes are not always obvious. The issue may be hosting, CDN configuration, third-party scripts, blocked services, heavy assets, analytics tools, content localisation, forms, search visibility, user journey design or AI-readiness gaps. A China Website Assessment gives your digital, marketing and technology teams a clear view of what is working, what is not, and what to prioritise.

Assessment areas

Access and availability

Check whether key pages and assets are accessible from mainland China.

Performance and speed

Review page load time, asset delivery, frontend weight and user experience issues.

Third-party dependencies

Identify scripts, services, fonts, videos, maps, analytics or tools that may affect China access.

Hosting and CDN model

Review the current hosting, CDN and delivery architecture.

Localisation readiness

Assess whether content, journeys, forms and calls to action are suitable for China users.

Search and discovery readiness

Review basic Baidu, China search and AI-answer visibility considerations.

China AI and LLM readiness

Review whether your content, metadata, structure and digital experience are ready for China's emerging AI search and local LLM-driven discovery environment.

Compliance and delivery considerations

Identify practical hosting, ICP, data flow and platform considerations that may need further review.

A clearer path forward

The goal of the assessment is not to create unnecessary complexity. It is to help your team make informed decisions about the most practical next step, whether that is frontend optimisation, China-friendly hosting, localisation improvement, Sitecore enablement, search readiness, AI ecosystem integration or a broader delivery roadmap.

Frequently asked questions

It covers both. The assessment looks at performance and delivery issues, but also considers localisation, user journey, search visibility and China AI ecosystem readiness.
