What is Vercel?
Vercel (formerly known as Zeit or now.sh) is a cloud platform for static web hosting that automatically pulls code from Github, GitLab, Bitbucket and other repositories for project packaging and deployment.
Before and after the acceleration
Left: Site speed measurement results deployed at Vercel; The picture on the right is the result of speed measurement after speed increase. The colors represent the site’s response time, with green being fast and red being slow or even inaccessible.
As you can see, the Vercel site is very slow to access in the country (left), with most areas being extremely slow to access (orange).

Test the project’s source code
We chose a Hexo blog as our test object. The default template is used and no additional changes are made.
How to improve Vercel access speed in the country?
If the website is only static, you can consider the storage space stored in domestic cloud service providers, such as S3 of AWS China or OSS of Ali Cloud, which can basically ensure the access speed of the website.
The disadvantages of deploying in storage space are also obvious: there is a lot of initial configuration, and more configuration is required to make continuous deployment possible (Git push automates packaging and deployment).
If you don’t like the hassle and want something as simple as Vercel, you can host your static web site in the 21 Cloud Box.
Host static web site in 21 cloud box process
1. Register as a member of 21 Cloud Box
2. Grant 21 Cloud Box access to the repository you want to deploy
Example figure: Select the repository to deploy in the 21 Cloud Box
3. Configure the build (package) command and publish directory
Example figure: Configure the Hexo build (package) command and publish directory
4. Click Deploy Now
Your website can be packed up and deployed online in less than a cup of tea.
You can access your project at app_id.21yunbox.com (app_id is defined for creation).

What else can cloud Box deploy?
Back-end application frameworks like Python Django or PHP Laravel are notoriously complex to deploy, and the 21 Cloud Box allows you to pack up and go online in 3 or 4 minutes to generate a unique secondary domain name.
What about databases? Of course, you can also simplify, one key to build a database (with hands-on video)
