Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Blocked in China | Check if your site is available in the Chinese mainland
The Blocked in China API uses multiple servers to check your site's status from within China, depending on the current server usage at the time. The primary API we're currently using comes from viewdns.info.
Servers are currently available in 5 regions, including Beijing, Shenzhen, Inner Mongolia, Heilongjiang Province, and Yunnan Province.
Internet usage is restricted in China. Many websites are not able to be accessed due to government limitations.
While there is no way to guarantee your site will always be available in China, you can register with the Chinese Ministry of Industry and Information Technology for an ICP license. This requires that your website is hosted in China. While it is not required to have an ICP license to ensure your site can be visited from China, it can help assure that your site will be available because all requirements are met for your website.
No. Your website can be hosted anywhere in the world. As long as the server or URL has not been blocked by the Chinese Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, then your site will be available in the mainland.
Yes - they are complementary plugins. Blocked in China checks whether your site is reachable from mainland China. Speed in China measures load performance and helps optimize resources for Chinese visitors.
Blocked in China can disable Google Fonts enqueuing site-wide with one click. Speed in China can localize and serve Google Fonts locally for Chinese visitors. Many sites use both plugins together.
Free includes monthly status checks. Paid plans unlock more frequent checks (weekly, daily, or hourly) and scheduled automatic status checks. See plans and pricing.
Yes. Status check results are stored in your WordPress site and are viewable under the Logs tab in the plugin settings.
