I am struggling to know why my Wordpress website is blocked in China.

Services I have running on the root site http://example.com that I believe are being blocked are:

  • Google Maps,
  • Google Analytics
  • Google Recaptcha
  • Vimeo
  • Facebook/Twitter share buttons

My multisite subsite I have added in a whole bunch of conditionals for the above services to turn them off for http://example.com/china/ however this is still blocked.

Not sure how china firewall blocking works, do they search on keywords in your code? like "recaptcha" "google" "facebook" "vimeo" etc and/or does it grab the resources from the root site?

I have viewed some other websites page source on china server which are not blocked and see google analytics, google maps, facebook icons etc, so I am a bit confused.. ?

Any help would be great.

This was caused by an infinite redirect that was happening. We used this to identify the cause https://www.websitepulse.com/tools/china-firewall-test

How do you make sure your site is blocked in china?

Based on my experience it is possible that your IP address is being used as a proxy
