Overview
Baidu AI Cloud CDN accelerates websites, software downloads and media. Its static CDN and dynamic acceleration options let teams choose caching or optimized origin routing for different parts of an application.
Network
Baidu documents mainland-China and international delivery separately. For a China-focused site, check domain registration requirements and origin placement during setup. The billing zones matter more to a budget than a headline network count.

- Website delivery: cache images, stylesheets, scripts and other static assets.
- Downloads and media: use CDN delivery for application packages and on-demand files.
- Dynamic traffic: assess the dynamic acceleration service separately from cached delivery.
Pricing
Base delivery can use traffic or peak-bandwidth billing. Published rates are in CNY and depend on mainland or international billing zones.
Optional HTTP/3 requests add a charge to CDN. Dynamic acceleration has separate dynamic HTTPS request charges and traffic measurement. A small-file workload can therefore cost differently even when the delivered GB are the same.
Developer tools
The product documentation covers domain onboarding, origin configuration and cache checks. Baidu also documents domain-management APIs and a Python CDN SDK. Verify domain ownership, HTTPS and cache status before the DNS switch.
When it fits
- Applications serving a substantial mainland-China audience.
- Teams already using Baidu cloud services for storage or media.
Before you choose
- Budget for optional protocol and dynamic-request charges.
- Check China domain requirements and the correct international tariff.
