Use tags.tiqcdn.cn to expedite content delivery inside mainland China, as well as elsewhere in the world. The domain `tags.tiqcdn.cn` is delivered by Akamai through the closest node to the user, which can be inside or outside the network security.

## Considerations

* **Choose one of the following methods for loading the universal tag**:
    * **Update the code for your website**: If you can modify the source code for your site and a large amount of traffic is from China, we recommend that you use `tags.tiqcdn.cn` in the code you add to your website.
    * **Use the China CDN Deployment Extension**: If you cannot modify the source code for your site or a small amount of traffic is from China, use the [China CDN Deployment Extension](https://docs.tealium.com/china-cdn-deployment-extension/). 
<blockquote>
Only use one method. Do not use both.
</blockquote>

* **Use a unique profile**  
Use a unique profile for each of your websites. Using multiple profiles lets you tag each website and customize the delivery of all Tealium-based content for that website.
* **tags.tiqcdn.cn**  
`tags.tiqcdn.cn` is available from Akamai through the closest node to the user. This means you can use a `.cn` domain for users outside the China firewall with no impact on performance for those users.

* **Internet Content Provider (ICP) license**  
For all web content to be delivered in mainland China, your website requires a valid ICP license.

## Update the code for your website

To update the code on your website:

1. Create a profile for the `.cn` domain. For more information, see [Manage Profiles](https://docs.tealium.com/manage-profiles/).
    * Consider using [profile libraries](https://docs.tealium.com/about-profile-libraries/) to share configurations between profiles to make setting up the new dedicated `.cn`  domain profile easier.
2. Update the publishing URLs in **Publish Configuration** to specify the `.cn` CDN path. For example:  
    ```bash
    https://tags.tiqcdn.cn/utag/ACCOUNT/PROFILE/dev/
    https://tags.tiqcdn.cn/utag/ACCOUNT/PROFILE/qa/
    https://tags.tiqcdn.cn/utag/ACCOUNT/PROFILE/prod/
    ```
    For more information, see [Publish Configuration](https://docs.tealium.com/publish-configuration/).
3. Add the following JavaScript, which uses `tags.tiqcdn.cn`, to the HTML source.
    ```javascript
    <script type="text/javascript">
      (function(a,b,c,d){
        a='https://tags.tiqcdn.cn/utag/ACCOUNT/PROFILE/prod/utag.js';
        b=document;c='script';d=b.createElement(c);d.src=a;d.type='text/java'+c;d.async=true;
        a=b.getElementsByTagName(c)[0];a.parentNode.insertBefore(d,a);
      })();
    </script>
    ```

## Use the China CDN Deployment Extension

Create and configure a China CDN Deployment Extension to determine the user's location and serve `utag.js` from the appropriate CDN. For more information on creating an extension, see [China CDN Deployment Extension](https://docs.tealium.com/china-cdn-deployment-extension/).
