• Enhance Storefront Search Scale and Performance
  Enhance the scale and performance of storefront search for keyword search and product browsing with the new B2C Commerce search settings option. Improve page load times for large product catalogs when processing search results that exceed a configurable threshold. Shoppers get quicker results when performing a keyword search, refinement calculation, product grouping, sorting, and category browsing. For example, if your storefront doesn’t use search refinement counts in the refinement bar, a setting is available to improve refinement calculation and search and category page load times.
• Validate Hostnames for Certificates
  B2C Commerce now validates the hostname in the HTTPS certificate for outgoing connections. Validating the hostname eliminates the chance that a connection is made to the wrong host. To identify failed verifications, search the logs with the keyword phrase: Host name verification failed. This validation can be disabled on specific requests using the new setHostNameVerification method on the HTTPClient script API.
• Auto Renew CDN Certificates
  Starting May 19, 2023, if you can self-manage your custom SSL certificates, you have the option to configure eCDN managed provisioned SSL certificates for automatic renewal. Auto renewing a certificate saves time and keeps you from missing deadlines. It also improves managing eCDN on staging instances. You can configure auto renewing certificates for development, staging, and production instances. Auto renewal is available only for eCDN managed certificates and only with the CDN-API. You can renew up to 5 auto-renewing certificates per realm at no additional cost.
• Set Up Custom Firewall Rules with the CDN-API
  To enable better rule enforcement, the B2C Commerce CDN-API now supports custom firewall rules. The API also provides custom firewall controls to target traffic from a specific path or user agent. Custom firewall rules are a superset of existing firewall rules, it will replace the existing firewall rules for IP, ASN, Geo, the existing firewall rules will be deprecated by February 1, 2024. All firewall rules will be deprecated by February 1, 2024.
• Set Up CDN Logpush
  You can use the CDN-API to store firewall events and CDN logpush for HTTP requests in your S3 bucket for immediate log visibility. The API supports visibility of HTTP requests and firewall events in the CDN logs. The logs are also available for eCDN implementations.
