Gatsby JS China
Learn about Gatsby JS in China.
Does Gatsby JS work in China?
Gatsby completed all three attempts from mainland China. Measured fact: from a probe inside mainland China (Alibaba Cloudcn-zhangjiakou), three runs, 2026-08-28, three of three runs completed, first byte in a median 684ms and paint at 1.7s. Static generation is genuinely helpful here — a pre-built page has no content round trip to pay — but it does not remove the third-party assets a build embeds, and several of the most common ones did not load at all in this same run. A static site is only as static as its font, script and analytics references. Using Gatsby JS in China? We can help.
Our experienced team has the know-how to solve any technical difficulties and ensure your website is optimized for the Chinese market.

How Gatsby-built sites reach Chinese visitors
Gatsby.js is commonly deployed with popular platforms as a service (PaaS) like Gatsby Cloud, Vercel, and Netlify.
Most of these platforms including Gatsby Cloud, don’t work in China due to Firewall and other legal issues.
