Akamai is a global CDN and cloud security provider with thousands of edge nodes worldwide, used by enterprises for fast content delivery, media streaming, and DDoS protection. Its platform includes WAF, bot protection, image optimization, and traffic routing, with powerful analytics and DevOps integrations.

Akamai plans to stop its mainland China CDN services on June 30, 2026, per official announcements. Until then, it operates via local partnerships (Tencent Cloud, Wangsu). After discontinuation, traffic will default to neighboring regions unless customers migrate. Chinese customers must transition to local partners or other CDNs before the deadline. Post‑2026, Akamai global users serving China should implement fallback via bootstrapped partner solutions or use domestic CDNs (e.g., Alibaba, Tencent) to maintain performance and comply with ICP regulations.

The information regarding service availability in China is provided for general reference purposes only. Due to the dynamic nature of network conditions and regulatory environments, the actual accessibility of these services may vary over time and by location. Users are advised to verify the current status independently.
