As summarized by @isVoid in rapidsai/cudf#7098 , Python API documentation for RAPIDS projects has historically used the Sphinx Read The Docs theme and served a single large HTML page. This has caused the docs to load slowly as API surfaces have grown and caused users to experience potentially significant latency/delays when searching for functions.

In rapidsai/cudf#8746 , @galipremsagar updated the cuDF documentation to the more responsive PyData Sphinx theme. In rapidsai/cugraph#1793, @BradReesWork made a similar change.

Updating the cuSpatial documentation to the PyData Sphinx theme should improve the user experience for our documentation.
