China Site Scanner

Find out what breaks when someone opens your site in mainland China. We check more than 60 services, how each one loads, and where your site is served from.

Reads your homepage, your contact page, and your own scripts and stylesheets. Takes about 20 seconds.

How it works

From form to report in under a minute

Enter your details

Name, company, website and a work email. The scan starts as soon as you send the form.

We read your pages

The scanner reads your homepage and contact page, then your own scripts and stylesheets, and notes every outside resource and how it loads.

Each problem comes with why it matters, how to fix it, and the test it rests on, with its date.

How we reach a verdict

Verdicts come from dated tests: our own probes from an Alibaba Cloud data centre and a Beijing home broadband line, 21YunBox probes from a mainland data centre, and third-party blocking tests run from inside China. Every finding shows its source and date.

The scan runs from outside China. We see what your pages load and how, and we make a DNS lookup as a mainland visitor would to find out where they get sent. We can't open the page on a phone in Shanghai, so read the report as a map of risks and confirm the big ones on the ground.

Hosts we've never measured are marked as not yet measured. We'd rather say that than guess.
