The vision of the Internet from the day it was born is to make the world no longer subject to geographical restrictions, which has also led to cross-border business becoming increasingly prosperous. Currently, cross-border e-commerce has become an important component of China’s overall trade, with B2B accounting for more than 70%.
“Cross border means serving a large number of overseas users. We know that China’s network is quite complex, and networks outside China are even more exaggerated.”. Therefore, customer experience has also become the primary issue of cross-border B2B e-commerce, and the integration of Fireumbrella Cloud CDN not only accelerates the network and improves user experience, but also provides certain network security protection for e-commerce enterprises.
According to relevant data, as of June 2022, the number of Internet users in China reached 1.051 billion, with a total of 19.19 million new users added in the half year. The Internet penetration rate was 74.4%, up 1.4 percentage points from the end of 2021.
Various business models can be innovated through the Internet, and e-commerce was the most common form in the early days of the Internet. Data shows that in 2022, China’s e-commerce transaction volume reached 42.93 trillion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 34.5%, with a growth rate of 7.2 percentage points. The transaction scale of the B2B market reached 29.95 trillion yuan, and the transaction scale of the online retail market reached 13.09 trillion yuan.
Although the popularity of mass online shopping is high and the consumption ability cannot be underestimated, B2B transactions still occupy a large market share among them.
Like the popular online shopping on the consumer side, cross-border B2B has also emerged in China in recent years, most notably in the eastern and southern regions. Guangdong, Zhejiang, and Fujian provinces rank among the top three in the cross-border e-commerce scale index, with orders and transaction volumes accounting for more than 90% of the market share.
From the perspective of trade exporting countries, B2B e-commerce is currently represented by developed countries such as the United States, Canada, Spain, Australia, and New Zealand, all of which have become China’s major trading partners and exporting countries with an annual growth rate of over 40%. Among developing countries, the ASEAN region, as an important part of the “the Belt and Road”, has huge market potential.
Huosan Cloud, founded in 2014, is a fusion CDN manufacturer in China, dedicated to helping offshore companies solve acceleration challenges. Huosan Cloud has integrated more than 30 domestic and foreign manufacturers, integrating over 30000 high-quality nodes across the world.
From the launch of the 1.0 version of the system in the early years to the current version, Huosan Cloud has experienced layers of difficulties. Its positioning is to optimize from various perspectives, such as service-oriented splitting, distributed architecture, and so on.
In particular, the underlying technical architecture has been improved and improved, such as peripheral CDN optimization, network acceleration, network security, and other performance. These are the main tasks of Huosan Cloud technicians, as Huosan Cloud is an accelerated service for global users, posing a huge challenge in network speed. Due to the impact of factors such as network infrastructure, the development of the global Internet is not balanced, and the development of the network environment in regions such as South America and Southeast Asia is not so rapid, which also directly affects our service experience.
Electronic commerce websites are composed of massive static resources such as product information, images, and website styles. The quality of the overseas network environment will directly affect the loading speed of the website. In addition, the re payment function also requires certification by global data security standards, and encrypted transmission over network security transmission, ensuring that customer privacy is not hijacked by third parties. Therefore, the use of Huosan Cloud’s overseas CDN is a key to ensuring a business experience.
Due to the characteristics of cross-border e-commerce, integrating CDN overseas is an inevitable choice. When selecting a CDN, we mainly focus on three aspects: first, bandwidth, and whether the traffic carried by the edge server can meet the traffic volume during promotions; Second, support for multiple protocols, especially the HTTPS encryption protocol; Third, cost: Internet companies have significant expenditures on CDN, so strict budget control is required.
Currently, Huosan Cloud is the choice of many overseas enterprises’ CDNs, with more than 200000 servers worldwide and a bandwidth of 30TB, which can well accommodate different network environments and terminal adaptations. Users can access Huosan Cloud’s nodes nearby to obtain a high-quality experience. At the same time, in terms of risk control, Huosan Cloud can optimize HTTPS encryption, ensure network security, and meet business characteristics and cost requirements.
In fact, the integration of CDN technology itself is not too complex, and overseas buyers are the ultimate beneficiaries of the integration of CDN usage. In order to provide a seamless service experience for buyers around the world, Huosan Cloud has made the integration of CDN a last mile for users.
