How Storyblok performs when reached from China
Storyblok is one of the few headless CMS that claim to support China. Because Storyblok itself is not compliant with China’s laws and regulations, they must rely on a 3rd party vendor to access Chinese CDNs. As a result, the price is passed down to Storyblok users.
In addition to your current enterprise plan, you are lookin at a minimum of $48,000 per to add Storyblok’s China service. In addition, you will need to get an ICP lcence, and find your own Chinese hosting platform.
If you are not paying for it’s their stand alone China service, your Storyblok hosted content will not work in China. This is because Storyblok does not have its own servers or CDNs in China.
Most websites built with Storyblok’s headless CMS either won’t open or are extremely slow in China. As an example, below shows Storyblok’s access speed in China for one of its Enterprise users, the popular fashion brand Marc-o Polo.
