Is your website visible in China?
Like the rest of the world, Chinese companies and consumers are looking for products and services; the starting point is a search on the Internet.
With international social media not available in China, your website is the local source of information about your business.
Only 20% of international websites can be seen in China. The first step is to understand what parts, if any, can be seen from China and run visibility testing in China.
Why use our website testing tools?
Most website test tools only test to see if your business domain can be seen from mainland China using a simple “ping test”. A “ping test” is like poking your internet site to see if it exists.
A “ping test” determines only whether your website's IP address is not blocked in China. It does not explain your website's performance in China or whether parts of your content are blocked.
The testing process helps you understand which parts of your business can be seen online in China and the response times. Most international sites take over 30 seconds to load. This is due to global social media and Google site content being blocked or slowed down, leaving your website with missing components or not working.
The reports show how each part of your website's content performs.Your website's performance is measured by how the end user sees your website business.
This testing process was created from open-source software developed originally by ALO and enhanced by Google.
In keeping with open-source principles and Access to China policy to share information, this testing tool and supporting information to help correct issues are free to use.
Also, as part of open-source principles, if you can make a small contribution to our ongoing work, it would be very welcome.
