Summary

To ensure e-commerce sites load quickly even during high traffic spikes, pre-generating site content including Product Detail Pages (PDPs) and serving them from a Content Delivery Network (CDN) can be effective. However, adding dynamic content such as localized prices and currencies may impact performance. Enhancing pre-generated pages on-demand at the edge using Edge Functions provides a solution, allowing for fast page load times, minimized execution errors, reduced energy consumption, and compute costs. This approach can be used with various frameworks like Nuxt, Eleventy, Astro, Hugo, Next.js, and others to generate site pages complete with HTML ready for an Edge Function to address and update, providing a resilient product detail page experience.
