Question
Use a CDN to improve the performance for Chinese users
Hello,
I have a droplet in LON1 for almost two years, and host an important website. I also use CloudFlare on top of it.
When visiting the website from Mainland China, it is slow in general, and sometimes it is too slow to display the page. Now, I want to overcome this.
I did some research, I think I will deliver the website in China via a Content Delivery Network (CDN). Now, it seems that there are two options:
1) DigitalOcean LON1 + CloudFlare + Baidu CDN
2) a server + Alibaba CDN
I think the first option is doable, my question is in the second option, is it possible to keep using my current DigitalOcean LON1 server and just use an Alibaba CDN? Do I have to use a Alibaba server?
Another question is, which option do you think is better?
Cheers
Tie
