RouteBridge reachability checker
Check if your site is reachable in mainland China and what to do about it
- Problem
- Indie devs deploy on Cloudflare Pages, D1 or Vercel to ride the free tier, then discover their tool simply doesn't load in mainland China and have to ask around for help. There's no easy way to predict regional reachability before shipping.
- Solution
- Enter a domain or URL and get reachability, DNS, TLS and latency probes from multiple regions including mainland China, rendered as a shareable report. For common hosts like Cloudflare and Vercel, it suggests cost-friendly alternatives and configuration changes.
- Users
- Indie developers and small teams using overseas free hosting but shipping to Chinese-speaking users
- MVP
- Multi-region reachability probes (with China Telecom/Unicom/Mobile samples); DNS and CDN origin chain breakdown; a curated list of host alternatives; shareable exported report link
- Revenue
- Free tier of 10 checks per month; Pro subscription for scheduled monitoring and alerts; pay-as-you-go bulk check packs
- Why now
- Free tiers make overseas hosting irresistible, yet regional reachability is the easiest trap to fall into; probing can be outsourced to third-party probe services so no infra is needed
