Honestly, running a website nowadays is really not easy. Many people don’t lack the skills to build a site, but get stuck at that one step—difficult registration, slow speed, unstable access.
Especially for someone like me using overseas servers, accessing the internet from mainland China is a hassle: sometimes the page opens but lags forever; sometimes DNS is completely blocked; one attack and the whole site goes down.
Over the past couple of years, I’ve tried almost every usable CDN, from Cloudflare to Tencent High-Security, and even AWS Shield, but either latency was high or the verification process was too complicated.
It wasn’t until a friend recommended I try CDN07 that I finally understood what a truly mainland-access-aware high-security CDN feels like.

1. Why We Started Using CDN07
I initially managed some overseas independent sites hosted in Hong Kong and Singapore. In theory, the distance isn’t far, so access from mainland China should be fast, but in reality—latency spikes at night, packet loss is severe, sometimes the site is simply unreachable.
A friend running API relay and Telegram landing pages had it worse. He said, “My domains keep getting blocked. I just set one up, and the next day it’s gone.”
It’s not that registration (备案) is impossible, it’s just too slow. The verification takes over 20 days, which many projects can’t wait for.
Then he told me: “CDN07 now supports CN2 direct connection to mainland China and can go live without registration. Why don’t you give it a try?”
I was skeptical at first, but since Cloudflare wasn’t stable anyway, I spent some money to test it.
Result—amazing.
2. Setup Experience: Truly Five-Minute Launch
Here’s how the whole setup process went for me:
-
Register account → only email required, no real-name or business license needed;
-
Select plan → I chose the 200Gbps business plan;
-
Payment → paid with USDT (TRC20), confirmed in seconds, system activated immediately;
-
Configure CNAME → DNS changes take effect instantly.
Entire process took about 4 minutes.
No registration, no verification, pay and go. That feeling of “freely going live” hasn’t been experienced in a long time.
Previously, doing registration meant preparing half a month in advance, filling out forms, making calls, waiting for SMS.
Now I just change one CNAME, and within five minutes it’s accessible nationwide. This efficiency is a lifesaver for projects.
3. Speed Performance: CN2 Direct Connection is Rock-Solid
I focused on testing mainland access to overseas sites.
My origin server is in Singapore. Using CDN07’s Hong Kong nodes with CN2 optimized routing, average latency dropped from 180ms to 50ms,
TTFB (first byte time) dropped from 400ms to 80ms.
My friend’s Telegram landing page, with origin in Tokyo and using CDN07 Japan nodes, had only 40ms latency from Guangdong—twice as fast as his previous AWS setup.
I also tested with WebPageTest (average of three runs):
| Test Location | Origin Load (s) | CDN07 Acceleration (s) | Improvement |
|---|---|---|---|
| Beijing | 2.9 | 0.9 | 68% |
| Shanghai | 3.2 | 1.1 | 65% |
| Guangzhou | 2.8 | 1.0 | 64% |
| Chengdu | 3.0 |
