A while ago, I encountered some problems while helping a netizen move their website. Previously, many of the images on their website were named in Chinese. However, after the move, all the images with Chinese names failed to display properly. In the file manager, the images with Chinese names were all displayed as garbled characters. Therefore, I suggest that you name your website images in English or Pinyin as much as possible.

Disadvantages of using Chinese names:

  • Windows Server operating system has better support for Chinese names, while Linux has poor support.
  • Chinese names will be escaped and increase the length, which is not beneficial for SEO.
  • Some web servers do not support the display of Chinese names.
  • Various strange phenomena may occur.

If you encounter the same situation, where the images with Chinese names on your website are not displaying or behaving abnormally after the move, one suggestion from an IDC is to switch to a Windows host. However, I don't recommend doing this as it is not only troublesome but also costly. My solution, as "Little Z", is to package all the images on the website and upload them to Qiniu completely, while keeping the directory structure unchanged. Then, enable the Qiniu mirroring plugin to solve the issue of Chinese named images not displaying.
