Hi everyone! We’re super excited to launch Chinafy for Squarespace! As you may or may not know (through our previously launched free testing tools!), most sites don’t work “off-the-shelf”  in China. 🐌 The majority of websites take over 30 seconds to load, if at all  🚫 Are missing key resources like fonts, images, videos, maps, etc  😞 Deliver a pretty terrible experience for anyone who’s visiting their site from China. For businesses, this means higher bounce rates, lower engagement, and loss of revenue.  Anyone who’s ever looked into website performance in China knows how nuanced, complex (and costly!) it is to tackle these issues because, unlike websites elsewhere in the world It’s not as “simple” as hosting in China, using a CDN, or minimizing js.  That is, until now. After Chinafy - 🚀 Squarespace sites load on average 7.7x faster on average in China ✅ Deliver 98% of resources more effectively 👋 experience reduced China visitor bounce rates by roughly 83% Make for happier marketing teams and developers We’ll be hanging out here to answer any questions and hear your thoughts/feedback/and more. Thank you!  P.S. Comment below with your favorite Squarespace site and we’ll share with you how much faster we can make it with Chinafy

That's pretty cool @jodie_chan . Most people don't realize how slow sites are in China!

@kevin_lepsoe yes, it’s not something most companies would assume they’d have an issue with or have the tools in place, to find out!

@vivekweb2013 Thanks Vivek! As a developer, is this something you've come across before or do you generally build with other website builders/something custom?
