Speed Up a Website with Optimized Vercel Domains

/

This article is translated from the Chinese original.

My blog is deployed on Vercel, but access from mainland China is very slow, so I set up an optimized domain to speed it up and improve the experience.

Configure the domain

Although Vercel assigns a domain after you create a project, it performs poorly and is also hard to remember. First, go to Vercel settings and configure a domain in the Domain section.

Optimized domain

Reference domains for Vercel optimization:

  • vercel.cdn.cyfan.top recommended
  • vercel.cdn.yt-blog.top
  • vercel-cname.xingpingcn.top

For DNS records:

A record —> 76.76.21.21 CNAME —> any one of the optimized domains above
