Better speed, better results

A faster store sells more.

Reduce friction throughout the buyer journey, make landing pages more responsive, and get more value from the traffic you already pay for.

Increase conversions

Faster load times reduce friction in the buyer journey and make it easier for more shoppers to complete a purchase.

Improve SEO

Quick-loading landing pages support stronger engagement, lower bounce rates, and better search performance.

Increase ROAS

A better post-click experience can reduce bounces, improve ad quality, and make each ad dollar work harder.

How it works

Handle every request by its requirements.

Edgemesh classifies traffic in real time, then chooses the fastest safe path for cached, dynamic, hybrid, and protected requests.

All traffic is not created equal.

1.0s850ms–2.1s range

Four storefront requests start simultaneously and travel to the Edgemesh classifier. Each pulse takes on its classification color, races through the selected handling path, and finishes at a sampled time to first byte. Edge-served requests typically finish in 40 to 110 milliseconds, while origin retrieval can take 600 milliseconds to 2.1 seconds.

Classify at request time

Every request is evaluated by content type, customer state, and the rules that protect your storefront.

Serve safe content nearby

Cache hits return from the nearest healthy edge in about 90 milliseconds, without waiting on origin.

Keep live data fresh

Prices, inventory, personalization, and customer state can be fetched dynamically or assembled into a cached shell.

Respect protected paths

Sensitive cart, account, and checkout traffic passes through unchanged, while a cache miss safely reaches origin.

How it works

Warm the cache. Keep it fresh.

On a cache miss, the closest edge retrieves the response from Shopify and caches it on the way back. Future requests return directly from that edge while background revalidation keeps content current—without cumbersome manual cache purges.

Automatic edge caching

Miss once. Hit fast. Stay fresh.

Continuous revalidationEdge → Browser + Origin

Serves the cache hit while refreshing origin in the background—no manual purge.

AsyncNo purge queue

The first request misses the cache and travels from the nearest edge to Shopify. When the response returns, Edgemesh warms the cache while sending the response to the browser. The next request is a cache hit and returns directly from that nearby edge. Continuous revalidation serves the cached response while refreshing from origin in the background, keeping the cache current without making the shopper wait or requiring manual purges.

How it works

One dynamic region shouldn’t send the whole page to origin.

Edgemesh serves the reusable page shell from the nearest edge, then streams only the regions that must stay live. Prices, inventory, personalization, and protected actions stay current without making every byte wait on Shopify.

The protected cart action continues to Shopify unchanged.

Edgemesh treats each storefront region according to how it behaves. The reusable page shell comes from the nearest edge while live price and inventory are retrieved independently, reviews stream in as their own region, and the protected cart action passes through untouched.
