Edge Delivery serves your storefront search requests from an edge region geographically close to your shoppers instead of a single central location. The search results and features are exactly the same — only where the request is served from changes — so shoppers in those regions get noticeably faster instant search, autocomplete, and search pages.

Why enable Edge Delivery

  • Lower latency, faster search. Requests are answered from a region near the shopper instead of a round-trip to a central server, so instant-search and autocomplete feel snappier.
  • Better experience in specific geographies. Pick the region(s) that match where most of your shoppers are — for example Mumbai for India and Toronto for North America.
  • Higher engagement and conversion. Faster, more responsive search keeps shoppers browsing and reduces drop-off on slow queries.
  • No change to results or setup. Edge serves the same routes, ranking, filters, and merchandising as the default host — nothing about your catalog, configuration, or theme needs to change.
Edge Delivery is currently available in Mumbai (India) and Toronto (North America). Choose one or both depending on where your shoppers are.

For headless & custom storefronts

If you use the Headless Search API, point your client at the regional edge host (for example https://mum.edge.glood.ai or https://tor.edge.glood.ai) instead of the default https://search.glood.ai. The routes and payloads are identical — see Edge URLs for the full list of hosts and the required Content Security Policy note.
